"Paris Is Burning" was the second single from Ladyhawke's self-titled debut album, out on 30 June 2008, and the New Zealand singer's first to get a physical release. She wrote it with Roy Kerr and Anu Pillai, who produced it together as Kid Gloves; she plays the electric guitar, Pillai covers drums, bass and keyboards, and Tony Hoffer mixed it into a glossy new wave rush.
At home it went to number 40, the highest-charting song she'd had in New Zealand, and in Australia Channel V gave it heavy rotation. A 2009 reissue, as a download and a limited 7-inch single, pushed it to a new UK peak of 47. The video sends her down a street with a wolf padding out in front, cutting to showers of feathers, sparks and scraps of plastic.
