Eliza Doolittle's "Skinny Genes"
Way back in 2009 singer-songwriter Eliza Doolittle released the video for her first major single and over four months later the song is finally ready for release; but it’s easily worth the wait, Skinny Genes is almost guaranteed to be the happiest song you hear this year! Eliza clearly knows how to make a good pop-song, the foot-tapping beat, catchy whistling and cheeky lyrics make it pure pop goodness that never fails to put a smile on your face. This is definitely the best time for the song to be released, it could easily become a big summer anthem and make Eliza one of the biggest newcomers of this year, something she really deserves! Almost no details have emerged about her imminent first full-length album, due for release sometime in May/June, but you can listen to some of what can be expected on her MySpace, including my personal favourite Back To Front which became popular after she performed it live at London Fashion Week. A tell-tale sign of her getting more popular is when a Google search brings up more results relating to her rather than the Pygmalion character.
Skinny Genes is released April 12th and comes backed with Police Car, a more down-tempo song that was first featured on her debut EP and contrasts perfectly, and also the Slugz And Joe London Mix. Eliza also told me over Twitter that it should be getting a vinyl release.
Oh my gosh, this is ALL AROUND ADORABLE! The song, the vocals, Eliza herself, the video… all. massively. cute.
So true! You probs have, but if you haven’t, listen her first major single ‘Pack Up’ ,it’s the ultimate summer song! I had a listen of the upcoming album too and it’s just amazingly summery and like you said cute. Should be doing a review soon if I finally get time to start writing again, I need to get back into it!
