Swedish dance merchant Elliphant has lobbed out her latest slab of noise, "Love Me Badder".
The track is a subdued take on Elliphant's normally explosive dancehall-pop; it still brandishes mighty basslines and a resolute confidence, but there's a heart-on-sleeve streak that shifts the Stockholm-based singer from cocksure swagger towards emotional gushing. This is the dancehall equivalent of screaming your love from the rooftops, or playing music to your beau from a boombox on their lawn.
The single's out now on TEN/Kemosabe; her debut record is due this Autumn.
