A brief guide to to the new Bertine Zetlitz single

You probably don't recognise the woman on the right, but you really really should. She's called Bertine Zetlitz and is one of the most amazingly brilliant popstars of the decade. She's from an area of Scandinavia (quelle surprise), and has released literally shitloads of music that you haven't heard. She also worked with Richard X, which is praise enough in itself, don't you think?
Anyway, to celebrate nearly a decade of being ignored by British people, she's releasing a best of. The first single off it is called 'Ashamed', and unlike most 'best of singles' is not a total shitshow, and is actually one of the best singles of the year. Here's some things about it.

-The intro sounds like The Dresden Dolls, Aly and AJ and The Knife, and makes no sense whatsoever but then goes into the real song, which starts off like a mix of the new Roisin stuff and a song off an advert i can't remember.
-However, the chorus is totally totally amazing. It is a bit like the Pet Shop Boys (especially the last line of the chorus) but also a lot like Bertine Zetlitz.
-The song is a bit of a downer and about doing stuff that you're not particularly proud of.
-However, in terms of miserableness, it's not exactly the new PJ Harvey record, and 'Ashamed' is crying out for an absolutely absurd rave remix that will become FUCKING MASSIVE 'in the clubs'
-It all ends a bit suddenly, but seems all the better for it after you've listened to it a few times

So, that's the new Bertine Zetlitz single. And now that Stylus has shut down, nobody outside of the Popjustice boards will hear it. Nice.
