Out now idol-io.ffm.to/blacksea - Taking her cue from a traditional gypsy melody half-remembered from her childhood, new signing, London-based singer SONIA ELISHEVA drops a memorable and punchy NEO SOUL meets ELECTRO SWING crossover. Her debut album Black sea is out now: idol-io.ffm.to/blacksea/spotify
The first single from her forthcoming album has echos of Lily Allen's LDN, crossed with an Eastern European folk heritage and Mark Ronson style production courtesy of THE SOULMATE PROJECT.
The video is a darkly comic tale inspired by cult movie THE LOVE WITCH.

LYRICS:
Are you out tonight sweet honey?
I could use a little company
I'm no good if I'm alone
My mind goes to danger zone
I have got a secret
(please don't tell)
There's a man I dream of
(please don't tell)
He's already taken
So my heart is breaking
I think of him every night
Hopefully his wife don't mind
I searched the Earth from left to right
But baby he's the only one that I like
I love his dark eyes
I love his dark eyes
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
I dream of his eyes all the time
I bet he never
Dreams of mine
I love his dark eyes
I love his dark eyes
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
I dream of his eyes all the time
I bet he never
Dreams of mine
Whisky coke
Bacardi gin
I drink just to forget him
It isn't fair
But when he's there
My hearts crashing down the stairs
Sinful thoughts
Don't say them loud
My mama
Would not be proud
I love his dark eyes
I love his dark eyes
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
I dream of his eyes all the time
I bet he never
Dreams of mine
I love his dark eyes
I love his dark eyes
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
I dream of his eyes all the time
I bet he never
Dreams of mine
Now I solved the puzzle
All you are is trouble
My mind is a muddle
All you are is trouble
I love his dark eyes
I love his dark eyes
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
I dream of his eyes all the time
I bet he never
Dreams of mine
I love his dark eyes
I love his dark eyes
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
I dream of his eyes all the time
I bet he never
Dreams of mine

![AUTUMN is here🍁🍂 #freshlysqueezed #alannalyes
TO MY FORMER SELF is taken from ALANNA LYES critically acclaimed debut album LIES HERE out now on Freshly Squeezed. The song closes her album and although less typical of the music on it, we felt its downtempo vibe and personal lyric made a more interesting vid... https://idol.lnk.to/lieshere - We hope you enjoy.
ABOUT:
With eclectic influences from Jazz to Electronica, Billie Eilish to Pink Floyd, ALANNA LYES is a British singer, pianist and songwriter from Leeds. More by accident than design she became the go-to session singer and top-line writer for the Electro Swing community creating melodies and contributing vocals to numerous songs for labels including Wagram, Ragtime Records, Electro Swing Thing, Adapted and of course Freshly Squeezed. She worked with numerous producers including Riff Kitten, Wolfgang Lohr, Balduin, Emma Clair, Varrick Frost and Duke Skellington.
For this project she decided to focus instead on a solo path, taking a creative lead and working with guest producers on a long-form album that dropped the tempo but turned up the heat to create a smouldering new sound that is all her own.
Sultry, confessional and highly personal lyrics fuse with a dark, contemporary and jazz-infused electronica. Lush and deep, this music will whisper in your ear one minute and slap you round the face the next!
Producers and co-writers ATOM SMITH and RIFF KITTEN worked with her to craft an album of darker leftfield pop. Hear them talking about this album on the teaser here for the Track By Track release... • Alanna Lyes x Atom Smith - Lies Here - Tra...
Simply breathtaking... unique, but more importantly coherent. Listening to the Lies Here from start to finish is a consistent experience, and one you can get lost in. (York Calling)
It’s not often that an artist comes along with a totally unique sound, but that is what Alanna Lyes has managed to do here. (Chris Swinglis Blog)
Both haunting and comforting... Alanna’s symphonic melody ensures a sense of freedom. Hypnotic. (Wonderland Magazine)
LYRICS:
Pick yourself a 6 six string
Feel it when your singing
Aint nobodys loaded gun
Feel a little frozen
Keep on all your clothes
Be selfish when youre having fun
Buy yourself a big dream
Cash it when your sixteen
Useless sitting the shelf
Shout a little louder
Stand out from the crowd
Take over girl and give em hell
To my former self
Are you here?
Can you hear me?
Are you here?
Can you hear me?
Are you here?
Can you hear me?
Today is stronger
Now theres nothing left
Of my former self
Wipe off all that make up
They dont like it, so what?
Theres another on the way
Look into the mirror
Dont care if you got thinner
Finish eating off your plate
Choose your own direction
Dont have to be sex
No pleasure if youre not yourself
Say if you dont want this
Only if the shoe fits
Power isnt up to sell
To my former self
Are you here?
Can you hear me?
Are you here?
Can you hear me?
Are you here?
Can you hear me?
Today is stronger
Now theres nothing left
Of my former self
Are you here?
Can you hear me?
Are you here?
Can you hear me?
Are you here?
Can you hear me?
Today is stronger
Now theres nothing left
Of my former self
Now that it is clear
Nothing feeds these fears
Like you
Goodbye to you
My former self

LYRICS:
Well, I dont know, but Ive been told
The day you slow down is the day you get old
And Ive been riding around that track
Never slow down and I never look back
Cuz way out west is where I want to be
The open road and the Joshua tree
I make my bed beneath the stars
Shoot out the lights in the local bars
Before I die, they say Ill break
But I try to give more than I take
I come and go like the rodeo
Thats how it is when you ride with the show
Catch me if you can
Try to be my lover man
But you must understand
If loving me is your hearts desire
Oh, baby – youre playing with fire
Well, I dont know but Ive been told
If you wanna get rich you gotta sell your soul
And Ive been finding that thats a fact
When I eat the rich its barely a snack
I spend my time down on their knees
And I spend their money whenever I please
You see a real mans waiting around the bend
Who could be my lover and could be my friend?
Hell live on my empire of dirt
A fence to build against the pain and hurt
Hell come and go like the rodeo
But well die for love by the end of the show
Catch me if you can
Try to be my lover man
But you must understand
If loving me is your hearts desire
Oh, baby
Catch me if you can
Try to be my lover man
But you must understand
If loving me is your hearts desire
Oh, baby – youre playing with fire
A life of love is not in vain
Cant get enough of the joy and pain
It comes and goes like the rodeos
And where we end up well nobody knows
Catch me if you can
Try to be my lover man
But you must understand
If loving me is your hearts desire
Oh, baby
Catch me if you can
But you must understand
Youre playing with fire

![The Swing Ninjas - Do Ya Hallelujah? (Official MV)
Swing dancers, fans of the vintage lifestyle, New Orleans music heads - ...this is that rare thing: a revivalist band that actually has contemporary relevance. (RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE.) Brighton based THE SWING NINJAS evolved from a walkabout busking trio via 3 self-released cover version albums, to their current fully-formed 7-piece (or more) line-up of local jazz talent. A New Orleans influenced big-band whose first self-penned studio album of originals DO YA HALLELUJAH? (2015) showcased their quirky vision and on-point songwriting honed over many years working the streets, festivals and bars of Europe.
OUT NOW: http://www.linkpagebuddy.com/page.php?id=68dQAadq
OR PRE-ORDER the new album here: https://idol.lnk.to/honky-bardo
BANDCAMP: https://swingninjas.bandcamp.com/album/honky-bardo
Since then they have continued a busy gigging schedule holding down a weekly swing-dance residency in Brighton while gigging weekends everywhere from the WOMAD festival (released as their 5th LIVE AT WOMAD album) to the BAHRAIN JAZZ FESTIVAL and even a short tenure in New Orleans itself. (From whence these clips come.)
This new release is the first single from their forthcoming 6th Album HONKY BARDO (Autumn 2020). As before it features their acoustic vintage sound (no Electro here) and as such comes across as a mongrel cross between Squirrel Nut Zippers, Pokey Lafarge, Dr John and Allen Toussaint. Fans of the Youtube channel will also recognise the band from their appearance in our videos from THE SPEAKEASY THREE including the mega hit WHEN I GET LOW I GET HIGH.
Listening to the Ninja’s is to pass an open door to a subterranean jazz cellar; a clarion call to the back alleys of Brighton’s labyrinthine Lanes. Part jaded lyrical cynicism, part joyous musical celebration.
These guys live it like they mean it: Heres a message from the Ninjas:
All the music we make owes an overwhelming debt to the city of New Orleans, its culture and people. So if you like this video and the band then please consider giving to the New Orleans musicians clinic (https://neworleansmusiciansclinic.org/get-involved/donate/).
A charity doing great work to support local musicians during the Corona pandemic.

LYRICS:
(Me? I wasnt so different from other girls
I liked a good time
Who doesnt?)
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 its a shame
That now you clearly struggle to recall my name
Whats a girl to do with the likes of you?
In this game of love Im destined to always lose
Oh its 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 youre three hours late
Oh whats a girl to do with the likes of you?
In this game of love Im destined to always lose
Hope and shame, its happened once again
Im done with wasting time, Im done with playing games
Round and around with nothing to be found
So ladies hold your ground
Were gonna break this player down
We deserve the best
And you dont stand the test
So run and join the rest
Its 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
(Youre lying in my bed)
Last night I would have given you a ten
(A ten out of ten)
But now I see youre just like all the other men
Whats a girl to do with the likes of you?
(Oh whats a girl to do?)
In this game of love Im destined to always lose
Oh, come on
(Come on)
Oh come on
(Come on)
Oh, come on
(Come on)
Oh baby tell me whats a girl to do...

![Atom Smith ft. Miss Emmma - Playing With Fire (Official MV) #electroswing
With hints of ENNIO MORRICONE and QUENTIN TARRANTINO, Los Angeles #electroswing producer ATOM SMITH drops the title track from his new album PLAYING WITH FIRE out now... https://idol-io.ffm.to/playingwithfire
Featuring the same band as the hit single and video COMIN UP SWINGING ( https://youtu.be/7-Wl6_0iBO8 ) including Burlesque impresario MISS EMMMA on vocals (fresh from her show DESPERADOS), this video is a tribute to the American Wild West complete with a subtle John Wayne cameo (blink and youll miss it), twangy guitars, cowboy hats, campfire deserts, vintage motorcycles and a hideaway ranch! We hope you have as much fun watching it as we had making it!

LYRICS:
Well, I dont know, but Ive been told
The day you slow down is the day you get old
And Ive been riding around that track
Never slow down and I never look back
Cuz way out west is where I want to be
The open road and the Joshua tree
I make my bed beneath the stars
Shoot out the lights in the local bars
Before I die, they say Ill break
But I try to give more than I take
I come and go like the rodeo
Thats how it is when you ride with the show
Catch me if you can
Try to be my lover man
But you must understand
If loving me is your hearts desire
Oh, baby – youre playing with fire
Well, I dont know but Ive been told
If you wanna get rich you gotta sell your soul
And Ive been finding that thats a fact
When I eat the rich its barely a snack
I spend my time down on their knees
And I spend their money whenever I please
You see a real mans waiting around the bend
Who could be my lover and could be my friend?
Hell live on my empire of dirt
A fence to build against the pain and hurt
Hell come and go like the rodeo
But well die for love by the end of the show
Catch me if you can
Try to be my lover man
But you must understand
If loving me is your hearts desire
Oh, baby
Catch me if you can
Try to be my lover man
But you must understand
If loving me is your hearts desire
Oh, baby – youre playing with fire
A life of love is not in vain
Cant get enough of the joy and pain
It comes and goes like the rodeos
And where we end up well nobody knows
Catch me if you can
Try to be my lover man
But you must understand
If loving me is your hearts desire
Oh, baby
Catch me if you can
But you must understand
Youre playing with fire

![The Swing Ninjas - Joy She Brings (Official AMV)
Hand-drawn artwork doesnt get much more home-made than this... Brightons SWING NINJAS are back with this fabulous and quirky line-drawn video ahead of their soon-to-be-released 6th (!) album HONKY BARDO. Pre-order/pre-save the album and you get this plus 3 other tracks by the magic of instant gratification! You know you want to...
https://idol.lnk.to/honky-bardo
Out now on the Speakeasy Swing compilation: https://idol-io.ffm.to/speakeasyswing
That rare thing: a revivalist band that actually has contemporary relevance. (RECORD COLLECTOR MAG) - The full album HONKY BARDO is released on the 9th October.
A HUGE SHOUT OUT to the brilliant and incredibly patient MATT BURNS for original artwork in this video.
ABOUT THE BAND:
THE SWING NINJAS evolved from a walkabout busking trio via 3 self-released cover version albums, to their current fully-formed 7-piece (or more) line-up of local jazz talent. A New Orleans influenced big-band whose first self-penned studio album of originals DO YA HALLELUJAH? (2015) was released on FRESHLY SQUEEZED and showcased their quirky vision and on-point songwriting honed over many years working the streets, festivals and bars of Europe.
Since then they have continued a busy gigging schedule holding down a weekly swing-dance residency in Brighton while gigging weekends everywhere from the WOMAD festival (released as their 5th LIVE AT WOMAD album) to the BAHRAIN JAZZ FESTIVAL and even a short tenure in their spiritual home of NEW ORLEANS. Sounding like a mongrel cross between Squirrel Nut Zippers, Pokey Lafarge, Dr John and Allen Toussaint, fans of this Youtube channel may also recognise the band from their appearance in our videos from THE SPEAKEASY THREE including the multi-million WHEN I GET LOW I GET HIGH.
