Amazon.co.uk Review:
Born just outside Wellington, New Zealand at the dawn of the '80s, Pip Brown is nothing if not a child of the decade that spawned her. Ladyhawke, Brown's debut album as a solo artist is steeped in the sounds of electro-pop and new wave, Blondie and Cyndi Lauper. But thanks to the eternal cycles of fashion--not to mention a fair few good ideas of her very own--Ladyhawke comes out sounding far from a relic to the not-so-distant past. Present are the big chords, bubbling synths and digi-claps of '80s pop, but Brown's smart tales of love and quarrel are delivered with an introspective quality and lean touch that puts one in mind of more modern pop stars like Annie, Robyn, et al. Still, "Magic" and "My Delirium" are authentically anthemic, simmering verses building to fist-punching choruses; and perhaps the album's strongest moment comes with "Paris Is Burning", a gleaming concoction of sparking synthesiser and stiffly funky basslines that sees Brown singing of scenes of Bacchanalian excess and is oddly reminiscent of mid-'80s Fleetwood Mac. So, what you make of Ladyhawke might depend on your nostalgia for the decade of excess ... but be warned: even if you'd rather forget those years, Ladyhawke might just be the girl to convert you. --Louis Pattison
Rating:
- The bird of prey with killer hooks and a massive talent
If you are looking for an album that can be catchy, intelligent, sing-a-long and genuinely brilliant at the same time, this pretty much has it covered.
Ladyhawke has merges pop, rock, dance and electronica in one song, and yet still has you singing along in seconds.
I haven't listened to an album with so many instant hooks and simple yet unforgettable chorus's in a long time and I never expected it to be in my top 5 albums of 2008, but it is that good.

Rating: - Fantastic... but too clever for the UK..?
This is a great album: An amalgam of Blondie, Kim Wilde, Cyndi Lauper, American 80's AOR and Numanesque electro-bleep. What's cool is that Ladyhawke pulls off the feat of sounding better and fresher than the originals. It's the soundtrack to an imaginary 80's movie, where everyone would have teased-up hair, wear spandex and bandannas, and not be fat. The songs are as catchy as hell, and alongside Santogold and Miss Kittin, who also contributed great LP's this year, this is a credible addition to the pantheon ... Read More
Rating: - Brilliant!!
So what if it sounds like '80s nostalgia, that best album I've heard in ages. A winner from the 1st to last track.
Rating: - a pop masterpiece
quite literally perfect in every way. every song deserves to be a single. madonna must be quaking in her rusty conical bra. and xenomania have packed their bags.
Rating: - Wonderful debut album
I love this album I brought it after hearing two of the singles and there isn't a duff track on the album. Everytime I play a track it brings a smile to my face.
