“Funny Business” by Alice Merton
From the album Mint (2019)
“Funny Business” by Alice Merton appears on 8 radio countdowns from 7 stations between 2018 and 2026. It was first released in 2019 on the album Mint. Its best result is #20 on the WEQX Top 102.7 of 2019. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #69 alternative song of 2019.
Alice Merton sent "Funny Business" out as one of the singles ahead of Mint, her debut album, which Paper Planes and Mom + Pop released in January 2019. She wrote and produced it with John Hill and sings the lead herself, and Rob Cohen handled the mix.
It came with a lot riding on it. The German-Canadian singer's lead single, "No Roots", had already topped the Alternative Songs chart in the US, and the press kept asking whether she was a one-hit wonder, questions she answered head-on in another Mint single, "Why So Serious". Later in 2019 the album came back as Mint +4, with four new songs added.
