Australian club queen, and one of my ‘Ones to Watch,’ Zoë Badwi stealthily released her latest single, “Shoot Me Down” back on September 28th via Neon Records/Warner Music Australia. Written in LA with Frankie-E, the single is the first off of Zoë’s as of yet untitled sophomore record. The song sees Badwi continuing on in the high energy dance direction that first gained her attention back in 2008 with the release of the international SMASH “Release Me.” In the grimy looking, Sydney-shot video, Zoë gets down and dirty with a troop of attractive dancers in a variety of dimly lit shipping containers. Writhing atop a mass of horny-looking, scantily clad young girls and boys, Badwi really turns up the heat.
As far as I’m concerned, there’s no reason why this song shouldn’t go #1 on the dance charts! There’s also no reason why this song shouldn’t IMMEDIATELY be serviced to U.S. dance radio stations. Erika Jayne has made a living off of this style of pulsating dance music here in America so I say let Badwi give Jayne a run for her money!
In addition to the standout single version of “Shoot Me Down,” Neon Records has really gone ALL out with the remix package. Released on Halloween (October 31st), the “Shoot Me Down” remix EP features re-imaginings by Antoine Clamaran, Apocalypto & Jebu, Bimbo Jones, Felix Leiter and Mystery Blonde. You can snag those remixes EVERYWHERE on Beatport right now. Unfortunately the single version is only available on iTunes Australia and iTunes UK.
