Kristin Kontrol has just released a new single “(Don’t) Wannabe” from her upcoming debut album X-Communicate, due out May 27th through Sub Pop. Formerly known as Dee Dee from the Rock group Dum Dum Girls, Kristin Welchez is starting solo career of her own to begin with what originally inspired her and see what blooms.
“(Don’t) Wannabe” is the third single from the upcoming album. It possesses a similar rock feel to that of Kristin’s Dum Dum Girls music said Spin. It has a definite 80’s vibe to it as well, setting her apart in an entirely new and fitting persona.
“The first music I felt was mine was ‘80s and ‘90s pop, but rock’n’roll was what motivated me to actually make music. Like most people, I love a wide spectrum of music. So with Kristin Kontrol I just wanted to unite it all.” Said Welchez “I feel free. I had to excommunicate myself to be able to explore. Even if I have to rebuild my whole career, I’d rather work tirelessly then feel stagnant. I feel excited again, and you can’t put a price on that.”
So far Kristin Kontrol has released X-Communicate, and Show Me and all of her music, updates and tour information can be found on her website.
