Dropping on the full moon just before Halloween, is this quirky retro video for the song HIGHER & HIGHER by ATOM SMITH and EMMA LEA. The track is out now here: idol-io.ffm.to/playingwithfire
Taking his cue from the lyrics, Hollywood chum of Atom's, director Brad Cooper (see also Comin' Up Swinging/Bright Like Hollywood et al) has immaculately crafted a highly detailed but completely out-there music video. Part 50's sitcom, part B52's homage, part John Waters nod with hints of Tim Burton's Mars Attacks! Plus the force of nature that is LINA LUX (who you may remember from Sepiatonic)! Let us know anything you think we missed in the comments below...
Meanwhile, it's easy to forget just how good a straight-ahead #electroswing banger like this feels! Combining super-catchy and classic dance floor vibes in a truly hybrid nod to the heady days of DISCO, this has bold and bright horns specially arranged by bad-ass LA session man Elliot Deutsch and a chorus that is enough to make anyone high. idol-io.ffm.to/higherandhigher is out now!

LYRICS:
I feel electric when you
Touch every part of me
I feel connected to you
We fit so naturally
Souls entwined
We burn like fire
Every touch just
Takes me higher
Time stands still
When we're together
Wish this night would
Last forever
Your love for me
Keeps pushing me
Keeps taking me
Higher and higher
Your love for me
Keeps pushing me
Keeps taking me
Higher and higher
Don't you feel that
Can't you feel that
Don't you feel that
Taking you higher
Don't you feel that
Can't you feel that
Don't you feel that
Taking you higher
I feel emotion when you
Reach out and touch my face
This pure attraction to you
Lifts me to outer space
Souls entwined
We burn like fire
Every touch just
takes me higher
Time stands still
When we're together
Wish this night would
Last forever
Your love for me
Keeps pushing me
Keeps taking me
Higher and higher
Your love for me
Keeps pushing me
Keeps taking me
Higher and higher
Don't you feel that
Can't you feel that
Don't you feel that
Taking you higher
Don't you feel that
Can't you feel that
Don't you feel that
Taking you higher
Souls entwined
Burn like fire
Every touch just
Takes me higher
Time stands still
When we're together
Wish this night would
Last forever
Last forever
Last forever
Forever and ever
Your love for me
Keeps pushing me
Keeps taking me
Higher and higher
Your love for me
Keeps pushing me
Keeps taking me
Higher and higher
Don't you feel that
Can't you feel that
Don't you feel that
Taking you higher
Don't you feel that
Can't you feel that
Don't you feel that
Taking you higher
