What if "Prince" had been a woman and made electronic music instead of funk-pop? How would it sound like? I also didn't have an answer to it, until I have listened to the great song 'U R Beautiful' performed by the British artist 'Maditronique'.
It is not directly a mix of the worlds. It's more the way 'Maditronique' approaches music. A bit experimental, but only subtly used. Different rhythms come together that somehow even work together and then the song has enough groove to nod along with your head. I don't know if I'll still be able to listen to this song in a year's time, but now I find it quite interesting.

Lyrics of 'Maditronique – U R Beautiful'
Every day is a little crazy
It’s OK ‘cause I know you got me
And you’ll keep me sane inside it all
When the world wants to run me right through
It’s alright ‘cause I know I got you
And you’ll be there to catch my fall
All my darkest thoughts
You keep them all at bay
All my fear and doubt
Won’t get to me today
*You take my cares away*
*Cause U R Beautiful*
*In every single way, yeah*
*You take my cares away*
*Cause U R Beautiful*
*In every single way, yeah*
*U R Beautiful*
*U R Beautiful*
‘Cause it loves to get complicated
Life’s a little bit hard to deal with
Now and then I don’t know if I can
That’s your cue to get up in my face
Life’s a bitch but you make it ok
Even when it refuses to go to plan
All my darkest thoughts
You keep them all at bay
All my fear and doubt
Won’t get to me today
*You take my cares away*
*Cause U R Beautiful*
*In every single way, yeah*
*You take my cares away*
*Cause U R Beautiful*
*In every single way, yeah*
*U R Beautiful*
*U R Beautiful*
Maditronique about 'U R Beautiful'
Judging by the lyrics “UR Beautiful” is a simple narrative extolling the virtues of a loved one. However, the track, with its Lorde like quality, possesses a sinister and uneasy edge. Entirely constructed from animal samples ‘UR Beautiful’ utilises a prowling bass line that propels the song as if it is encircling its prey. Whatever the intention the track is highly effective and demonstrates, yet again, Maditronique’s vocal prowess and her ability to construct distinctive and memorable electro pop.
