Elizabeth – Parties
Elizabeth, do you hate SEO? I can name, and this is just off the top of my head, two different Elizabeths, or Elizabi. The queen and the one in Austin Powers whose last name I can’t remember. I’d wager there may be as many as double that figure in existence. So THIS Elizabeth wants to go head to head on the google battlefield with four other conames? Seems a gamble if you ask me.
To her credit though, she has this really wonderful pop song called ‘Parties’ in her warchest and maybe that’ll be enough to finally bury Elizabeth Hurley (remembered it) though if dating Warney didn’t put a chink in her armour then she’s nigh on invincible. This song ‘Parties’, it’s produced by John Castle (who’s got a strong list of credits and would’ve come at no small cost) in the spirit of Beach House but it’s Elizabeth’s vocal that steals the show. They float lightly through these sonic hallways yet somehow they still feel huge, powerful, mighty – like a colossal spectre, edging its way through an empty passage.
I think this song strikes me so immediately because lines like “I go to parties like I don’t need anybody but I only miss you more” are such a lived experience for me. It certain doesn’t hurt that this same lyric rich chorus is the musculature built on the bones of a perfect melody. I find myself wordlessly humming this chorus constantly. Between words and sounds, it’s Elizabeth’s sledgehammer melancholy that sticks with me all these listens later.
Also, just a quick answer to one of the questions posed on this one – “when’d you get so good at being bad?”
Bud I’ve got bad news for you, some of us a just born with it. I’ve been good at being trash since day dot.
