Paris Wells - Dat Du Dat (Single)
by Stephen Bisset | Tuesday, June 24
It takes just one listen the songs on Melbourne chanteuse Paris Wells’ MySpace page to realise she (or her powers that be) made a terrible error in releasing Dat Du Dat as a single.
Paris’ oeuvre is firmly in the soulful trip hoppiness of acts like Morcheeba. Her vocals drip lovingly over proceedings like Beth Gibbons on uppers. Yet this song with its almost annoyingly nonsensical chorus is smack bang in the middle of the realm of forgettable dance-pop. Although it would probably be lapped up by the Nova set.
Paris Wells is definitely one to look out for if you’re a fan of soulful funkiness, but Dat Du Dat is probably not the best starting point.
