Gemma. As you may know the former leading member of the short lived girlband 'Lashes' has been floating around for quite some time now in the music industry. Never really exactly taking full on control of her solo work even though she has constantly stated that she has been working on new music. The only time we got solo work from Gemma was last year shortly after Lashes broke up and the blonde bombshell released promotional single 'We Had The Power', the ode to the breakup of the band became quite a success reaching the #3 position on the digital charts, proving that Gemma could exactly achieve her own success outside of the group. We Had The Power and Lashes are now long gone and 2014 seemed to be a year where Gemma still floated around, not falling into obscurity but not exactly being known as a household musical act but exuding massive potential to be a main stay among music and a successful one too. This was further proven in the early months of 2014 where Gemma had the opportunity to feature as a vocalist on mister_b's debut album. Gemma accepted and entered the studio with mister_b. Drake, fell in love with the record they recorded together named "Involuntary Memories" and it was soon released as the albums third single. The single became a big success and topped both the digital and ariplay charts and really gave Gemma the exposure she needed and got her named out there. Since the release of Involuntary Memories, Gemma has remainained relavtively quiet musically and has been making noise with her marriage.

In mid 2014 news broke that James and Gemma were having divorce after being married for just 5 months. Rumors even went around that the marriage ended with Gemma getting millions of dollars in a prenuptial agreement still until this day we do not know what really went down between them but with nasty releases and comments from both parties, we are still always wondering. James went onto release Better Than Hell and some listeners have stated that the song was a song explaining public outrage toward his ex wife. Still, no word ever came about. In the last week, Gemma was featured on Culture Uncut stating that there was a show entitled 'On The Run with Gemma' that will be airing on E! in late November that will follow Gemma as she preps the release of her debut album coming in 2015 and following the coverage Gemma received some positive to mixed reviews from people about the show, still the show is just about set in stone with a pilot episode coming in the next week. Also, Gemma started to hype up a new track entitled "Cruel" that she started promoting through twitter along with it's producer Aiidan Davis. So it seems as if there will be alot of Gemma in the next coming months and we are getting a taste of an official single here tonight.

"Cruel" is the official first single by recording artist, Gemma Kane, known as just 'Gemma' from her debut studio album set for a very early 2015 release with some reports stating that there is a chance the album could come earlier. "Cruel" will be released on October 26th, 2015 through Five Pesky Kids records and will also be featured on Gemma's reality show airing next month. Cruel was produced by producer Aiidan Davis along with the albums executive producer mister_b. The song was recorded in August of 2014 with Aiidan Davis producing the bassline of the record and the alternative driven backing beat and mister_b producing the hook and the dance break of the track.

The record can be looked at as a song with a punk attitude meeting dance beats that actually makes a perfect concoction of two genres. Lyrically the record earned the track an explicit content sticker due to it's lyrics and the theme of the track with the official radio rip of the song being much cleaner then the explicit. Throughout the track Gemma explains that she wants to kill a man due to him taking advantage of her and leaving her scorned for numerous reasons that she explains throughout the track. The lyrics are compelling and the track is bad ass in content as it rages through beats and Gemma's vocals are heard loud and clear as she runs through the lyrics until the song breaks into a catchy dance beat thats due to the genius hands of mister_b. The track features a big bass and guitars that are quite laid back as Gemma sings the first verse. The song then breaks into a synth heavy futuristic tune that has Gemma talking about getting a a gun the glove compartment of her car and actually inflicting deadly damage to a man. It feels as if this is scarily
a threat to James Urie but we are just assuming now. As she's done singing that part, the song breaks into a heavy pounding synth filled beats with a very catchy sing along hook that goes "I don't mean to sound so cruel |But I just wanna kill this fool" that can easily get caught in your head. The beats seem to get bigger until they break into a big dance beat that can get rocking and dancing automatically. Throughout the track Gemma has full on attitude with the guitars and synths as she makes it known that she's bad ass enough to commit this crime because this guy is officially an enemy. The song seems to get bigger in the final chorus where the dance breaks his heavier then it was in the earlier verses as the song rides out.

Tell me darling, who's this you've left to burn?
Yes, I heard. You fucking coward left it up to her.
It's not just me you've been pulling down;
How many other bitches have you messed around?
You said you loved me, would do anything, give your life for me.
Run a thousand fucking miles just for praise from me.
But when it died, you were alive. Did you not care for me?
You ran a million miles just to take too long away from me.

A gun in the glove box of my mustang
I swear boy you’re gonna feel some pain
Yeah that’s right I’m coming after you
You’re gonna regret the things that you do
I’m gonna give you a taste of lead
And leave you on the ground cold and dead
You’re gonna bleed until your body’s dry

I don't mean to sound so cruel
But I just wanna kill this fool
Mom and dad call the lawyers
When you hear this breaking news
Never leave a woman scorned
Yet he hurt her to the breaking point
I don't mean to sound so cruel
But I just wanna kill this fool

*Dance break*

Should've just pushed you away when warning came, made crystal.
Should've looked out for her and all this now infected system.
We had to wait this long to find out all the pain you caused,
And even then, it wasn't you who bared the soul.
My halo glistened, but your lies put me out.
Fucked me over with your judgement 'cause I couldn't get the words out.
If you think you're fighting for us, forget it now.
If you never knew your side, you're the enemy now.

A gun in the glove box of my mustang
I swear boy you’re gonna feel some pain
Yeah that’s right I’m coming after you
You’re gonna regret the things that you do
I’m gonna give you a taste of lead
And leave you on the ground cold and dead
You’re gonna bleed until your body’s dry

I don't mean to sound so cruel
But I just wanna kill this fool
Mom and dad call the lawyers
When you hear this breaking news
Never leave a woman scorned
Never leave a woman scorned
I don't mean to sound so cruel
But I just wanna kill this fool

And when its done ....
Blow the smoking gun ....
And toss it up......
Hop in my car ...
And I'm on the run...

I don't mean to sound so cruel
But I just wanna kill this fool
Mom and dad call the lawyers
When you hear this breaking news
Never leave a woman scorned
Never leave a woman scorned
I don't mean to sound so cruel
But I just wanna kill this fool
