Bad dancing is one of my favorite pastimes. Honestly—it’s extremely liberating and I like to do it in my kitchen, but also in clubs and at house parties, but sometimes I wish I could shake it like a Fly Girl (or Haim). Twerking is cheap, but throwing down like they did in the late 80s and early 90s is next level awesome. Luckily Aussie singer Chela, who currently lives in LA and releases on French label Kitsuné, knows the power the moves from that era hold. Above is an exclusive video of her dancing like a demon to a mini-mix she did pulled together to promote her last EP “Zero,” which includes cuts from Aaliyah, Friends, Carly Simon, Search Blood Orange, Depeche Mode, and others.
Chela is officially the coolest.
