Little Violet w/ Alfredo Rey and his Orchestra - Like A Virgin (Official MV)
A gorgeous JAZZ VOCAL reclines seductively across the top of this authentic BIG BAND cover of the 80’s MADONNA classic. LIKE A VIRGIN is out now! This one’ll get you ’In The Mood’!
It’s a lush one-off collab where the album-charting LITTLE VIOLET meets the vintage-loving Italian ALFREDO REY and his ORCHESTRA to spine tingling effect coming across like a blend of Glenn Miller, Madonna and Julie London with a dash of Postmodern Jukebox and a healthy side-order of vintage swing style. It follows up our ever-popular video from The Speakeasy Three (When I Get Low, I Get High) with a more film-noir style night club video, this time shot in Milan!

LYRICS:
I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
I didn’t know how lost I was
Until I found you
I was beat
Incomplete
I’d been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you make me feel
Shiny and new
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine
Like a virgin
Gonna give you all of my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
’Cause only love can last
You’re so fine
And you’re mine
I’ll be yours
Until the end of time
Cos you make me feel
Yeah, you make me feel
I’ve got nothing to hide
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine
Like a virgin
Like a virgin
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine
You make me feel like
A virgin
Touched for the very first time
