Petite Meller — 'Barbaric'

  • September 22, 2015
  • Popjustice

Earlier this year Petite Meller released 'Baby Love', which remains one of 2015's most incred­ible pieces of music.

Sadly, despite a decent amount of Radio 1 support, that song was not a hit. And it was not a hit because pop con­sump­tion is BROKEN, but let's not get into that now.

The point is that Petite clearly believes that 'Baby Love' should have been a success, because she's about to release it again, albeit with a different title and a slightly different tune.

'Barbaric' was premiered on Annie Mac's Radio 1 show last night, and it's out today because Petite Meller does not play by the rules of New Music Friday.
