LIST PICK

ELOïSE MARIE ANTOINETTE

If there’s one way to feel inadequate in your twenties, thirties and so on, it’s hearing about a talented 18-year-old artist. Eloïse is not only taking the music blogosphere by storm, but also still studying for her A Levels at the same time. This Lana Del Rey incarnate recently released her sumptuous debut EP, titled Marie Antoinette, which also happens to be the name of the song that Eloïse transforms in this parodic music video. Representing foregone portrayals of women in love, mirrored by the equally outdated settings, this young singer-songwriter embodies deadpan expressions, a Hollywood glamour and mature lyricism beyond her years. The track itself is propelled by pulsating bass and lead astray by warped vocal samples, with Eloïse’s glorious vocal pulling out dramatic one-liners. - HT
