Dum Dum Girls' Dee Dee has just shared a new song called "Show Me" under solo moniker Kristin Kontrol.

"Show Me" follows "X-Communicate", the title track/lead single from her upcoming debut as Kristin Kontrol, which is out 27 May on Sub Pop.

Kristin Kontrol - aka Dee Dee, leader of internationally acclaimed rock outfit Dum Dum Girls has just released a new song. “Show Me,” with all its synth-sax flourishes and minimal groove, premiered on i-D HERE.

Speaking about the new project, Kontrol says: "For me as leader of Dum Dum Girls it felt very stoic and serious, and I am serious, but anyone who really knows me knows I'm silly, too; I smile a lot. As the years went on, it was so weird that I kept so much of me out of what I was doing creatively... the first music I really identified as my own was very poppy, classic '80s, from Debbie Gibson and Tiffany to Janet Jackson and Madonna. I didn't want to make a record with typical rock vocals."

Listen to "Show Me" below.
