Songs of the year, Number 12: Nova Twins - Cleopatra (Lyric Video)


Metal queens Nova Twins scored the unlikely double whammy of both Mercury and Hercury nominations this year with their second album Supernova. It's easy to see why their modern metal sound, fuelled as it is by a combination of musical innovation, enthusiastic freshness and attitude would chime so well.

In 'Cleopatra' they swagger and boss their way through a taut three and a half minutes of riff driven rock with lyrics that embody empowerment while also taking swipes are racist stereotypes and hypocrisies. "I'm a boss bitch" snarls Amy Love, "I'm Cleopatra" and the listener can only agree.

Tremendous.
