London's alt-pop scene just got a whole lot more exciting with the arrival of Dirt Flirt's self-titled debut EP, out now on Final Girl Records. The brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Kit Eaton-Kent, this five-track collection is a masterclass in emotional honesty, blending raw confessions with hooks that'll lodge themselves in your brain for days. If you're into the messy, chaotic beauty of early-20s queer identity and the rollercoaster of breakups, then this one's for you.

Dirt Flirt isn't just about catchy tunes; it's a deep dive into vulnerability, a testament to learning to embrace your own contradictions. Written and performed by Eaton-Kent and produced by the brilliant Redshank, the EP draws on influences from the likes of The Japanese House to 070 Shake, yet somehow manages to carve out a sound that's entirely its own. We're talking synth-drenched melancholia rubbing shoulders with angsty pop bangers, all woven together with a devastatingly playful touch.

First up, 'Necklace' hits you right in the gut. It's an introspective opener, powered by dark synths and slick beats, exploring the tricky allure of toxic romance. Dirt Flirt perfectly captures that internal wrestle with the 'sweet-talker' on your shoulder. The lyric video is a must-watch to truly get the vibe. Then there's 'Dramatic', an emo-pop anthem that's as punchy as it is self-aware. Driven by distorted guitars and haunting synths, it's a brilliant takedown of that pesky inner saboteur. Dirt Flirt tackles the exhausting cycle of emotional self-destruction with sharp lyrics and a theatrical flair, proving you can be dramatic and still deliver pure pop gold.

'Boyfriend', a fan favourite that's been doing the rounds, shows off Dirt Flirt's uncanny ability to wrap complex themes in deceptively catchy packages. It's a bittersweet story of falling for someone who just doesn't quite get you, playing out like a queer coming-of-age film. Elsewhere, 'Bodycount', an alt-pop breakup tune that continues the deep dive into vulnerability. With her distinctive voice and unexpected melodies, Dirt Flirt navigates the guilt of a relationship gone sour. The anthemic chorus perfectly sums up that painful feeling of going from everything to just another number.

Closing out the EP is 'Don't Go', a truly relatable comment on modern communication woes. It's a desperate plea to a loved one you’ve accidentally ghosted for too long, with haunting synths swirling around the hook: "don't go, I'm not a ghost." It’s a poignant end to a powerful collection.

Kit Eaton-Kent, a self-proclaimed former emo kid turned pop provocateur, brings a unique blend of introspection and hook-heavy songwriting to her Dirt Flirt project. She’s been making waves across London’s underground scene, captivating audiences with her electric stage presence and building a tight-knit online community. With this debut EP, Dirt Flirt isn't just one to watch – she's already arrived and she's ready to take over.
