Eliza Doolittle’s debut album expresses an artistic flair of pop/jazz providing us with an image of a young girl wearing a pretty, frilly dress, sitting on top of a cupboard next to an old vinyl record player, swinging her bare footed legs in time with the music. Her voice, light and pure with a hint of soul and motown brings peace and relaxation to our ears.
Combinations of piano, acoustic guitar with soft urban sounds talk about the simple things in life and some songs are almost childish with their new and fruitful sounds. Similar sounding/associated artists would be Adele, Kate Nash and Ellie Goulding.
Eliza’s single ‘Skinny Genes’ released March 29th this year was used on the ‘Very.co.uk’ advert on television with Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby and has therefore helped her to become a more recognized artist. ‘Skinny Genes’ is extremely catchy and the distinctive whistled tune used throughout adds to the new and exciting sounds it brings. ‘Pack Up’ includes/refers to the chorus of the George Henry Powell marching song ‘Pack Up Your Troubles In your Old Kit Bag’.
Her album progresses with the same feel however, I think that simplicity is the key word with Eliza Doolittle with no songs displaying any strong emotions. Aiming to be a pop musician though; she seems satisfied with the light heartedness of her songs within her album. I think that whilst Eliza Doolittle may be a new and exciting break through artist, I cannot see her music making history and her sound; being similar to a few existing artists like I mentioned earlier, is not really definitive enough to stand time. For now though at least, we can enjoy her beautiful voice and quirky songs on her album.
