The Ting Tings
The Ting TingsDownload
"Should have been a lawyer," barks Katie White on the Ting Tings' second
album. She certainly knows how to argue her case. In 2008, the English
duo emerged as international stars with sassy punk- pop rants like
"That's Not My Name." Here, the band again is at its best when White is
proclaiming ("I'm gonna paint my face like the Guggenheim!") and dissing
("Liar, liar/Your words expire") in a voice pitched somewhere between
cheerleader, rapper and Tourette's sufferer. The music dips into ska,
Eighties electro and power ballads, and the sumptuously noirish torch
song "In Your Life" proves White's heart is as big as her spleen.
