A Bad Girl In Harlem by New Politics
A Bad Girl In Harlem is an album by New Politics, released in 2013. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 17 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Harlem”, on 17 lists with a best position of #5.
A Bad Girl in Harlem, the second studio album from New Politics, came out on RCA on May 21, 2013, and it's the sound of three Danes falling for New York. David Boyd, Søren Hansen and Louis Vecchio had packed up and moved from Copenhagen to Brooklyn, and that's where they made it, with Boyd on lead vocals and guitar, Hansen juggling guitar, bass, keys and electronics, and Vecchio on drums, percussion and electronics.
It's punk energy, pop hooks and dance-floor electronics mashed into one sugar rush. "Harlem" is the calling card, a stomping earworm that ended up everywhere: a Taco Bell ad, a Windows 8 spot, trailers for Frozen, Guitar Hero Live, NHL 14 and promos for America's Got Talent. "Tonight You're Perfect" was the other single, and Vikings came next.
