HE GONNA LEAVE ME WALKING LIKE BAMBI

There are lots of amazing pop songs that deal with love, heartbreak, friendship, dancing, deception, revenge, religion and power struggles. They tend to be the right mix of vague and universal so people can relate to them and think: "Yes, Lady Gaga, I too have experienced some bad romance in my time."
What you don't often get is a pop song that references a specific London bus route. Step forward Ruby Goe, whose excellent Get On It features the line, "I take the 149, I reach just in time", as electronic drum beats and fizzing synths explode around her. To get clarification, I messaged her on Twitter to confirm the bus route from London Bridge to Edmonton Green by way of Shoreditch had indeed inspired the song. She replied: "Its the unpredictable kingsland road sat4am armageddonesque shitfest i have trouble with." Get On It is the tale of everything leading up to that "sat4am" meltdown, with Goe "getting dressed in heavy black" before heading out, meeting a man and having a romantic liaison that leaves her "walking like Bambi". For the video, funded by Puma, Goe writhes around in some glittery black oil, dances in a big white room before finally vomiting said oil over the walls. Expect Ruby Goe's delirious take on modern pop to be big in 2012.
