If you haven't heard of Kate Miller-Heidke, you're not alone. In fact, neither had we until just this week, when somebody posted a clip of a hilarious little ditty of Kate's called "R U Fucking Kidding Me?" on Facebook. Ironically, the song is a kiss-off to an ex who dissed her and then tried to buddy up to her on a few social networking sites (including—uh huh—Facebook), and it's the perfect anthem for today's Internet addict.
A native of Brisbane, the cutesy Aussie is already a sensation in her homeland, garnering four ARIA nominations (the Aussie equivalent of a Grammy) and cracking the top 50 with her frenetic hit "Words" from her debut album Little Eve. A tour through Australia as the opening act for Cyndi Lauper brought her to the attention of L.A.-based producer Mickey Petralia (Beck, Dandy Warhols, Peaches), who helmed her second album, Curiouser, and now she's set to take the States by storm as the buzz around her continues to grow.
Check out the clip for "R U Fucking Kidding Me" above, then check out the video for the totally dance-tastic "I Just Can't Shake It" (from Curiouser) and a live performance of "Words" after the jump to discover for yourself what makes this playful ingenue such a delightful earful.
