I don't know why people are saying her lyrics don't make sense. A lot of them seem to be about her life on the road and getting drained by all these strangers and there expectations of who and what she is supposed to be as both a musician and a person. Sure "requiem" is nonsensical but sometimes dance music has to be vacuous to be enjoyable. Take a break from yourself and listen to an artist evolving.

Miss Kitten is a busybody from France. She is a DJ and singer. She did a record with The Hacker, which was one of the first Electroclash records. Everyone knows that song "Frank Sinatra." This her first solo record that also has a lot of people showing up here. Miss Kitten does a lot of talking over these songs in her deadpan style. She is not repeating the now clichés of Electroclash. "Requiem For A Hit" goes from fast rock to R&B. The changes in speed are very unique. She covers a lot of styles, like punk rock in "Meet Sue Be She," minimal techno in "Soundtrack Of Now," and more ambient sounds. This is a must have for electronic music in 2004. Miss Kitten is a cool French chick that wishes she was from Berlin.

1.Professional Distortion - This is a great song, it's wicked, and would fit perfectly into the cd players of the guys with massive speakers in their cars. It's loud, funky, and the beat is one of the best i've ever heard. Cooly, funny lyrics, too. THey don't make sense. Gets boring quickly. 9/10
2.Requiem for a Hit - This song is sooo good! At first i hated it, but it really grew on me with its incredibly simple beat, and that synth that just pumps all the way through. It gets even better when Miss Kittin starts singing too. 7.5/10
3.Meet Sue Be She - Kind of annoying, an obvious filler track. Miss kittin's voice makes me laugh again, and the lyrics are woeful. But its a good song to jump around to. Pretty catchy though. 7/10
4.Happy Violentine - A bit of a long track, but well worth the time for the experience. When i first heard it i was taken aback by Miss Kittin's songwriting talent, almost flabbergasted. It gets even better when all the synths, pianos, and singing all manage to wind together nicely in the end. 9/10
5.Allergic - This song is cute and fun, it's quite wierd, it's very quiet and trance-like, but still has a fast beat. It's unusual to the ears, but its still an above average listen. 8/10
6.Kiss Factory - Easily, the worst track on the album, another filler. It doesnt make sense and its very annoying and generic. I guess one could call it catchy, but i could never stand it, even with 5+ listens. Turn it off please. 4/10
7.Clone Me - The best track on the album. It's got an awesome, synth paced throughout the entire song, like Requiem for a hit, and is very danceable. Catchy beat and tune, i love it. The lyrics, like the lyrics in most of the album, are nonsensical, but you forget about them quickly. Great chorus - "Hello Kittin you came to play, Hello Kittin you look strange today..." 9.5/10
8.I Come.com - Lyrics are utter nonsense. The whispering at the beginning is kind of annoying, but once the rhythmic singing comes in halfway through, it gets very, very good. And the way she distorts her voice is great, too. 8.5/10
9.Soundtrack of Now - The only song on the album featuring The Hacker, and thank god. This song is so annoying and is incredibly uncreative. It's a bit of a joke on this album, and its about time Kittin dropped The Hacker once and for all. Worse song on the album. 2.5/10
10.Neukolin - This is really just an experiment in music. It makes no sense, and the only lyrics are a few words in german. It's very synthy and not pleasant to listen to. It's an experience. 6.5/10
11.Dub About Me - Another slow, long song, but not as good as Happy Violentine. It's still very good and makes you think. It could do without the heavy, jarring synth that comes through every now and then. 7.5/10
12.3eme Sexe - BEST SONG EVER! This song sums up the album perfectly. It's a beautiful french ballad, with a hint of electronica. If there's one song you need to listen to, it's this one. Beautiful chorus, beautiful music. Leaves you with good impressions of the album. A perfect 10/10.
