About

If something seems familiar about Natalia Kills, it could be that prior to adopting this image and sound she starred in the BBC sitcom <i>All About Me</i> before rapping under the Verbalicious moniker. As Natalia Kills, her music actually plays a lot like a darker, British response to Lady Gaga. The opening dance-pop diva cut “Wonderland” swaps out Gaga’s mirthful musings for some slightly sinister fantasy fables. But it’s not like any of this is coincidental. Kills even armed herself with a quiver of Gaga’s producers for <i>Perfectionist</i> including Akon, Fernando Garibay and Martin Kierszenbaum — which may be why songs like the delightfully dramatic “Superficial” and the shopping anthem “Free” featuring will.i.am both sound like sibling songs to those comprising <i>The Fame Monster</i>. Still, the shadowy comic book allegories of “Kill My Boyfriend” (on the Deluxe Version) and “Love Is a Suicide” reveal more originality.
