Elle & The Pocket Belles - What's A Girl To Do (Official MV) 2024
Музыка
Ever been stood up? The title track (and final single) perfectly captures the vibe of the debut album WHAT'S A GIRL TO DO... from London's 5 piece ELLE & THE POCKET BELLES which is OUT NOW here: idol-io.ffm.to/whatsagirltodo
Now available on Limited Edition Clear Red Vinyl! Get yours here: freshlysqueezedmusic.bandcamp...
Combining classic 60's girl-group 'boy-trouble' lyrics, with swinging brass and a contemporary dance-floor rhythms, this track bridges the gap between artists like CARO EMERALD and genres like ELECTRO SWING with the usual heavy nod to vintage fashion.

LYRICS:
("Me? I wasn't so different from other girls
I liked a good time
Who doesn't?")
Oh I woke up late this morning with a pain in my head
I rolled on over to see you lying there in my bed
And last night you seemed so nice so it's a shame
That now you clearly struggle to recall my name
What's a girl to do with the likes of you?
In this game of love I'm destined to always lose
Oh it's Friday night and time to dance the blues away
You call me up to see if I wanna come out and play
It took hours (how long?)
It took hours to get ready for the date
And now you're three hours late
Oh what's a girl to do with the likes of you?
In this game of love I'm destined to always lose
Hope and shame, it's happened once again
I'm done with wasting time, I'm done with playing games
Round and around with nothing to be found
So ladies hold your ground
We're gonna break this player down
We deserve the best
And you don't stand the test
So run and join the rest
It's time to have some fun
I woke up late this morning with a pain in my head
(I woke up late this morning)
I rolled on over to see you lying there in my bed
(You're lying in my bed)
Last night I would have given you a ten
(A ten out of ten)
But now I see you're just like all the other men
What's a girl to do with the likes of you?
(Oh what's a girl to do?)
In this game of love I'm destined to always lose
Oh, come on
(Come on)
Oh come on
(Come on)
Oh, come on
(Come on)
Oh baby tell me what's a girl to do...

Fair point... it was actually something we discussed. There's a lot of live drums on the album, some tracks more than others, often mixed in with electronic drums too, but the aim was to get a good balance.

I Did not realise how good swing is until seeing the swing-revival bands and this channel is top, vocals of this group are great, and can tell the musicians are too, just annoying same up front electro beat, I mean pump it up for a chorus/mid perhaps, just my opinion, great stuff anyway!@@FreshlySqueezed
