Remember the tunes of Britain's Goldfrapp or Norway's Annie (who releasedthe Anniemal album in 2004)? I remember rocking out to Robyn's singles 'Show me love' and 'Do you know (What it takes)'  in 1997 when I was 14.  Well the women of this diverse brand we call synth-pop have evolved and grown up since that time too. And along the way new artists and faces have also risen above the crowd to stand with them. In this photo album for CBC Arts Online there are images that display their stylistic diversity. These performers all seem to have one thing in common - outlandish and fabulous fashion! Here's the CBC gallery: 21st Century Girls: A look at the fashionable first ladies of synth-pop A look at Robyn's recent video for 'Cobrastyle', which was directed by Chris & Rankin, reveals paint flying. Unfortunately universal disabled embedding of the video, but you can look it up on Youtube. Chris & Rankin did a fantastic job, and have also directed The Enemy’s  ‘No Time For Tears’ and Nelly Furtado's hit, 'Say it Right'. mystyleis made their own mash-up version here: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLeyx68Qu-0&hl=en&fs=1&]
