Liz is the missing link between 90s R&B-tinged teen pop of the Britney/Xtina variety, and the hyperpop of the PC Music stable. She is working with PC producers Sophie and Lido, and is signed to Diplo’s Mad Decent imprint. When I Rule the World has the manic, fast-cut cuteness of Sophie’s Lemonade and offers a sort of “inverted commas” pop, whereas on other numbers, such as Hush, she plays it exquisitely straight. “Pop music when I was growing up was very non-ironic and still is,” she says. “I have such an appreciation for the way those records were made, but I also really love finding up-and-coming producers setting trends on the underground.”

Liz was 12 when Britney was in her pomp. “It was a very influential time in terms of culture, fashion and music,” she considers. “That’s why it’ll be fun to bring it back but in a new, fresh way. I’m not a PC artist but I love their left-of-centre aesthetic.” She says that in her music she explores “the idea of innocence, like in that Britney song, I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.” How about When I Rule the World? “That was me channelling my inner devil child.”

Does Britney know about her? “I heard she wanted When I Rule,” she says, amazed. “I had to fight to get it back. But I would love to write a song for her. I walked by her at the Teen Choice Awards in LA and froze. She taught me how to be a pop star.”

Song "Liz - When I Rule The World"

Posted

I can definitely hear the Britney influence in this singer. And I can see why Britney wanted the song because it's got that attitude in there BUT I'm very happy she lost the song. The only part that's great and would have been beautiful to hear is the pre-chrous. Otherwise it's kinda basic. Of course if Britney had gotten the song, I'm sure things would have changed a bit.
