Way back last february when we started doing MP3 of the Day we featured Hesta Prynn as our very first MP3otd . Now with over 212 individual MP3 of the day posts later, we've come full circle, back to a new Hesta Prynn track. Hailed by the New York Post as “M.I.A. and Miike Snow’s lovechild”, this is a great way to kick-start your weekend - upbeat, driving drums and immensly catchy, you'll have it looping round your head like you haven't experienced since you saw the Gaga Alejandro video. [...]
Hesta Prynn is responsible for our new favorite indie dance track. Rock, electro and some hip hop and nothing can go wrong! As Sara Quin of Tegan and Sara, whose tour she is supporting, said, “Hesta Prynn’s album makes me wish I was a dance choreographer or in a dance posse. It’s not just enough to just dance alone to these songs, I actually feel as though I need an entire group of people behind me as a visual representation of how amazing I feel when I’m listening (and dancing) to this music.” Free Mp3: [...]
Julie, please don't think that I'm a dick. I'm not. I am sorry that I haven't returned your phone call for over a year. A lot of bad shit happened in the last 12 months (which started at SXSW 2009 and continued). For that period of my life, music, blogs and friends who make music weren't on my mind. But I'm better now, and clearly things are going great with you. Listen to this ass-kicking new track you just released. I hear you're in the studio with Chuck Brody (Lykke Li, J.Lo, Ra [...]
On Friday, we started our (and hopefully your) weekend off with a bang by doing what we do. And what we do, is occasionally fill-in on East Village Radio for our pal Jason, during his Accidental Rhythm show. In case you weren't tuned in (in which case....psssshhaw on you!) , here's what went down. With a last minute "hey girl hey, can you come on down [...]
There's some stuff going on... ...and here's where you can get learned. Not entirely original today, eh? Charlotte Gainsbourg's The Tree (devoid of castration, as in last year's [...]

Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive Since the demise of rap group Northern State , Hesta Prynn has embarked on a solo career, creating a mix of rap, rock and electronica that she describes as "post-hipster, post-genre." With new material constantly in the works, Prynn tells Spinner she's happier than ever, thanks to the freedom that comes with being a solo act. "It's freaking awesome to not be constantly compromising with people who are in the same role as you," she says. "It's [...]
Some tracks can be classified as straight fire. Brash female hip hopper/rocker Hesta Prynn has just dropped such a track on our heads. While not a club hit, Can We Go Wrong has the driving guitars, syncopation, and reverb-y female vocals for a gritty pump up jam. Also, I'm a sucker for witty historical or literary names - check on that front. Formerly of the hip hop outfit Northern Lights, Hesta Prynn is releasing her debut LP later this year. Should be good and if nothing else, quite fun. Hesta Prynn - Can We Go Wrong [...]
Listening: 1. Meklit Hadero : Meklit has one of the more rich and beautiful voices I've heard in a while. She reminds me of Basia Bulat, but this Ethiopia native is truly a unique talent. Her debut album, On A Day Like This… , will be released by Porto Franco Records on April 20th. Listen to: Walk Up ( mp3 ) 2. Hesta Prynn : This dance-punk diva is going to take over the scene this summer. Listen to : Can We Go Wrong ( mp3 ) 3. [...]
Got this remix the other day and I can't help but not share it with you guys. Its from RAC , a producer who has put some stellar remixes out in the past. This time he has taken ex-Northern state girl, Hesta Prynn , and added this spacey tribal/dub type feel to her first single, "Can We Go Wrong," Ms. Prynn will be releasing her debut album later this year. If you are in Austin this week you can check out her show at the Virgin Mobile 508 Party on March 20-508 East 8th Street, [...]

DATE: 03-01-10 WRITER: Don Loder Alright ya mugs, so it's been a while since anybody at Ground Control posted a bunch of free SWAG from the music business, hasn't it? Those filthy prospectors have obviously been asleep on the job because it's not like the biz took a year [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News New York's Webster Hall may have been hosting an '80s prom Saturday night, but Hesta Prynn had her own party downstairs at the Studio @ Webster Hall. Showcasing her new solo project, Prynn, part of the female hip-hop trio Northern State , played a free show to New Yorkers before heading to Austin for a few gigs. Although she started her set with a Karen O -like vibe, Prynn just couldn't shake off her hip-hop ways and gave [...]
ESTA PRYNN Produced by Chuck Brody (Lykke Li, J.Lo, Ra Ra Riot and Wu Tang Clan) with help from Sara Quin of Tegan and Sara, Hesta Prynn’s new solo record is an intersection of gritty glam and irresistible electro. With Strokes-y guitar riffs combined with addictive synth beats and vocals that recall The Knife, Yeah Yeahs Yeahs and The Kills, the result is a glossed up version of the same raw character that we know and love. Known for her rhymes that can jump from boys and parties [...]
Next Saturday, February 27, ex-member of New York-based girl hip hop outfit Northern State, Hesta Prynn, is playing a rad, free show at the Studio space at Webster Hall. Prynn, who's striking out on her own in the hopes of...
A few weeks ago , I dropped a little doozy of a tune in my morning roundup. The response to Hesta Prynn 's Can We Go Wrong was fairly amazing, whenceforth, I decided to flesh out a fuller feature on the former Northern State member. After playing Pianos last month, Hesta Prynn gives fans another chance to get a taste of what to expect from [...]
