Video Jam of the Day: West End Girls - Little Black Dress
April 2nd, 2009 | 10:02 am est |
Sweden’s West End Girls have a pretty unassailable gimmick. The duo of Isabelle Erkendal And Emmeli Erkendal cover the songs of the Pet Shop Boys, giving them a glitchy, glitzy ’00s pop overhaul. It sounds like some kind of novelty nightmare, but it’s not. It’s brilliantly silly and sweet pop instead. For their newest single, Neil and Chris gifted the Girls an unrecorded song, “Little Black Dress”, that was written for their 2001 musical Closer To Heaven. If the Boys had released this in their prime…hit single!
While we’re talking PSBs, how about a look at their new video from their new album Yes? Here’s “Love Etc.”
