"Theoretical Girl is looking every inch as if she could be the surprise female artist of the year, following on from the limited edition release The Hypocrite, she gives us another brilliant single in the shape of Another Fight.A deliciously understated pop song, that oozes simplicity and beauty in equal measure, it shimmers musically, while the lyrics take on an apologetic angle to a troubled relationship.Less obvious and mainstream than Duffy, Adele and co, Amy Turnnidge will be the underground darling of this year." The Beat Surrender
I would doubt that Amy Turnnidge, aka Theoretical Girl, is as coy and sweet as her new single, "Another Fight," makes her seem. Listen to some of her other, more aggressive, work to validate this. "Another Fight" is a charming detour. It is a melodic plea for reconciliation, crafted into a retro-electro-pop bubble, without being all knotted up in nerves and beauty and riddled with sadness. With that atmospheric voice and her dark eyes and Snow White (of the Seven Dwarves gang) choice of wardrobe, I’d agree to all her terms. She’s a bright new avatar among the faces of female British performers. Noize Makes Enemies
