Good things come from Detroit. Lili Marlene Premilovich was born in Motown in 1950, the offspring of a Yugoslavian father and British mother. Lene Lovich as she came to be known, had a unique voice and visual style - part folk, part babushka. She was part of a generation of British punk and post-punk female singers that hit hard in the early 80's. Nina Hagen, Siouxsie, and Lovich were all mining similar territory - I guess you could call the fashion non-conformist conformism?"It's You, Only You" is standard early 80's fare, but the dub version of the record has that certain raw synthesizer fatness that is so in demand these days. Imminently dance-able and with thick basslines.
