Probably one of our more unorthodox choices in this year’s top ten countdown. New Zealand starlet Brooke Fraser’s latest album ‘Brutal Romantic’ was fabulous; full of sonically sublime future-pop nuggets, including this truly inspired single, ‘Kings & Queens’.
A top 20 hit in her homeland, it was virtually ignored by the mainstream here in Australia, but we gave it (and the ‘Brutal Romantic’ project) plenty of love. It doesn’t matter whether it was a hit or not, it connected with us, so we’re bestowing upon it the No.9 position in our top ten pop singles of 2014.
