Rules do not apply to the up and coming pop singer star, Eva. She will tell you so directly in her debut single, “Not My Daddy,” which Ke$ha wrote. It is not the tune you want to play for your father on that honorable day in June, but it is a certainly a tune to crank up before you leave for a night out on the town.

Eva was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, but raised in the Bay Area of California. She is no newcomer to the music scene as she has opened up for Nas and Alicia Keys and performed on musical festival stages alongside Robyn and Kylie Minogue. Her forthcoming album is her debut, but Eva is well seasoned, so to count it as her first release will spread the star’s fame further for other aspiring artists to grasp. Instead of blaming Eva, we suggest you embrace her to the fullest.

Having worked with Snoop Dogg, Lupe Fiasco and producer Scott Storch on her up and coming album, we can surely expect more edgy and daring tunes, similar to “Not My Daddy,” which features Gucci Mane. The already rebellious lyrics of the tune are heightened even further in the video for the track. Wearing a tightly fitted corset, sky-high heels and old school Hollywood hair and makeup, Eva is the ultimate pinup star with diamonds and money surrounding her every move. It is challenging for new artists to convey such attitude and personality with one released track, but this task is no issue for Eva.

If you are a timid person, not motivated to step out of the box, Eva’s “Not My Daddy” could replace those costly therapy sessions. Music is a curative means to releasing anguish and Eva reminds us just how powerful this remedy can be.
