Lene Lovich

There´s nothing I can say more about this new wave diva. Since Lene Lovich burst onto the scene with her 1979 hit single "Lucky Number," ushering in the New Wave era, her life has been defined by an unyielding commitment to the arts and activism. She starred in the French television film Rock, costarred (with Nina Hagen and Herman Brood) in the motion picture Cha-Cha, and co-wrote and played the lead in the London stage play Mata Hari. Lene Lovich's impact on pop music can hardly be understated. The influence of her arty, flamboyant new wave persona, assertive, banshee-howl-inflected vocals, and idiosyncratic songwriting style can be seen clearly in countless female artists, from peers like Siouxsie Sioux and Grace Jones, to those who have followed in her footsteps: Bjrk, PJ Harvey, Gwen Stefani, and Karen O. In her absence, it is nigh impossible to conceive of the modern landscape of alternative female pop artists.

I think Devo was the first real new wave band, and if you hear "Fountain Of Filth" you'll realize they did it long before new wave was called new wave. Besides that though, Lene Lovich had a few great songs, "Lucky Number", "Home", and "New Toy", written by Thomas Dolby. All in all she was the American Nina Hagen, but I say that just to be a douche.
