Cotton, Josie
Pussycat Babylon
American singer/songwriter Josie Cotton is known for the hits "Johnny Are You Queer," "See the New Hong Kong," "Jimmy
Loves Maryann" and "He Could Be the One," the latter which she performed in the film Valley Girl. Cotton owns Los
Angeles-based Kitten Robot Records which has reissued her entire catalog along with new Josie Cotton records over the
past three years. Pussycat Babylon was originally released in 2010 as a limited edition private-label CD. The record has
been remastered and appears on vinyl for the first time with revised packaging and full-color insert. The music is
synth-heavy, driving pop; the single "Calling All Girls" was 'Coolest Song of the Week' on Little Steven's Underground
Garage in December, 2021. Stitched Sound- "While 'Calling All Girls' carries a sobering message, she presents (them) in
classic Josie fashion - festooned with humor and vivid splashes of neon. Its accompanying technicolor video - filled
with aliens, UFOs, and. cows (!!!), is a vivid representation of all things Josie - fun, New Wave-y, and flamboyant."
Anti-Music- "Cotton's vocals are a little heavier (think Christina Amphlett) as are the electro effects on "Recipe for
Disaster" while "Pussycat Babylon" is a charming and catchy rocker that owes a bit to the Stooges, and yes there are
"meows." Speaking of the Stooges, one of the coolest songs on the album is "Stop Iggy Pop," a cut featuring New Wave
synths and a robotic chorus. Cotton wrote most of the songs on this 11-song effort and she did one heck of a good job."
