For Iggy Pop’s most recent curious career turn, he’s doing a poppy duet with his granddaughter (just kidding) ex-Be Your Own Pet vocalist Jemina Pearl. The track’s “I Hate People” from her forthcoming solo debut Break It Up. It may very well be the happiest forced-rhyme sing-song about hating people you’ll hear all year.

Break It Up is out 10/6 via Ecstatic Peace/Universal.

  1. this is totally awkward

  2. You know, I really did not like this song when I first heard it, but it’s kinda growing on me. I don’t know, I’m a sucker for Jemina…

    WTF?
    Sounds like a sixth grade girl who got to record in Granpa’s studio.
    Where did her attitude go?
    really, this horrible.

    I don’t love it, but I must admit that I always suspected there was a poppy and bitter girl hiding behind Pearl and all of her BYOP post-punk cheeriness.
