It may have taken her eight months, but #melfest 2014 breakout star Ace Wilder has finally dropped a new single, and it’s a real “Riot”.
As with “Busy Don’ Nothing”, Ace’s latest effort features some mellow verses that build up to a booming chorus. There’s hand-clamping, stomping, blaring trumpets, and another easy-to-remember chorus that ends up on loop inside yo head. The theme of female emancipation works well with Ace’s image as a ball breaking dancing queen. You don’t wanna mess with her. “I am the force of an earthquake child/ Lost in the jungle gonna get you wild/ I am the full blown destruction queen/ Light up the match I’m the gasoline.”
Miss Wilder — née Alice Kristina Ingrid Gernandt — has only released four singles, but it’s clear she already has a signature style. This is how you do it!
Riot lyrics — Ace Wilder
I am the force of an earthquake child
Lost in the jungle gonna get you wild
I am the full blown destruction queen
Light up the match I’m the gasoline
So light up, put your hands up
Let’s start a riot
Let’s start a riot
Light up, put your hands up
Let’s start a riot
Let’s start a riot
Out with the old, and in with the new
Take out the trash, get a room with a view
Let’s start a riot
Let’s start a riot
I am the master of the seven seas
Known by all to bring men to their knees
Yes I am the centre of the universe
Mind-bending gravity is nature’s worst
So light up, put your hands up
Let’s start a riot
Let’s start a riot
Light up, put your hands up
Let’s start a riot
Let’s start a riot
Out with the old, and in with the new
Take out the trash, get a room with a view
Let’s start a riot
Let’s start a riot
So light up, put your hands up
Let’s start a riot
Let’s start a riot
Very good, though I like “Busy Doin’ Nothing” more.
Will she give Melodifestivalen another try? If she does, I hope she has another song planned for it.
Girl power 🙂 made this man happy
Just what we needed! Another crappy song…
Willy, d’ya know if this song getting released in the UK iTunes? I wanted to get Busy Doin Nothin a while back, and there was just her EP on there with no BDN (which I obvs got nonetheless, it’s amazing AMIRIGHT)
HOLY SHIT THATS AMAZING.
Sigh, I love Ace. How Sanna beat her I have no freakin’ idea. We’d be back in Sweden next year if Ace has repped them.
COOL!
Well I love it!
Just like I said to my ex boyfriend: I’m not feeling it…
