Valentines date stood you 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, listen here: 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.

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...
