Eliza Dolittle – Pack Up

• 18th May 2010

Eliza Doolittle’s new single ‘Pack Up’ boldly raids the chorus of the George Henry Powell marching song ‘Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag’ and repurposes it to startling effect, creating a gorgeous dance-hall ode to the joys of being the eternal optimist. The follow up to Doolittle’s hit debut ‘Skinny Genes’, ‘Pack Up’ is another killer single from one of the breakout stars of 2010.

Recently turned 22, Eliza Doolittle (a nickname that stuck) was raised in Camden, north London by a piano-playing dad and singing mum. Currently residing in nearby Primrose Hill, on her eponymous debut album Doolittle marries breezily beautiful melodies and witty, erudite lyrics with a delightfully off-kilter twist and a knack for a killer hook. Out on 5th July, it’s a summer essential.

Eliza Doolittle has just completed support tours with Jamie Cullum and Alphabeat and will support Sia at Camden’s Roundhouse on May 27th.
