Who's Got Your Money

It's the question on every American's mind. Though a challenging song title for a debut single in these tough times, it may be advantageous to 21-year-old New Yorker Tina Parol. "Who's Got Your Money?" is a vengeful anthem with a carefree attitude, where Parol's alluring pop/rock vocals are well-matched to her lively image. In a similar vein to Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" and Pink's "So What," she self-medicates by getting back at her cheating boyfriend by "spending all of your dough." Like Lavigne and Pink, Parol isn't just another pretty, packaged pop star, either. Her songwriting talent includes collaborations with producers Danja and S*A*M and Sluggo, and she also wrote "Rock Boy," the international B-side to Britney Spears' "If U Seek Amy." Parol's full-length album "Shrinking Violet" is due in the fall.
