Australia's first stop for pop!

RICKI-LEE DROPS

by

We knew it was coming… We’ve known it for a while, but were under strict instructions to stay mum. But here, finally, we can reveal that Ricki-Lee’s brand new single ‘Do It Like That’ has been serviced to Australian radio just an hour ago.
The track is the follow-up to last year’s platinum-selling release ‘Raining Diamonds’, is her second release for new home EMI and is the second single to be lifted from her forthcoming album, which Ricki-Lee has hinted will arrive in the second quarter.
The Fred Falke remix of the track leaked to EMI’s Soundcloud page last week, exciting fans around the world and even scoring coveted Song Of The Day honours on Popjustice.
Undoubtedly, Ricki-Lee is excited.
“I’m enjoying challenging myself, I want to raise the bar and set a new standard for Australian pop artists,” she said in a statement accompanying the single’s release. “I respect Beyonce and Gaga because they push the limits and set the standard. No-one in Australia really sings, dances, writes and is so entrenched in the whole music creation process, I want to up the ante and prove we can be that good as well.
“It’s absolutely, without a doubt, the best music I’ve ever made… I know everyone says that – but I’ve never said that – honestly this is the truest representation of who I am.”
‘Do It Like That’ will be released to digital retail later today, with the video due sometime next week.

  1. One thing I will say for Ricki-Lee is she has an awesome ego. Putting down all other Aussie musicians to promote herself. For someone who has managed a couple of platinum singles a few gold and not even one peer judged award nomination during her mediocre career she certainly has tickets on herself. Get over yourself Ricki. The public and the music industry don’t seem to agree with your high opinion of yourself. An average talent at best.

  2. I kind of dig this song, but I only have one thing to say about the press release – oh no she didn’t!

    Ricki Lee is talented but I think it’s a bit rich for her to suggest that the bar for local dance pop artists needs raising – and she’s the one to do it.

    Personally, I think Sneaky Sound System are pushing the envelope further in terms of innovation and originality.

    But hey, I hope this is a hit for her. She’s a consistent performer and deserves more chart love than she’s had.

  4. Bought the Remix ep this morning (has the standard version included as well as both the Fred Falke Remix and Fred Falke Remix Edit) – it’s a great track, another resounding success for RL’s career. Looking forward to the album :-)
