ODD CHAP - one of the most consistent and exciting of young electronic dance music producers - continues his series of one-off collaborations. Here up-coming UK vocalist EMMA LEA (who is herself about to release a debut album on Birmingham's Ragtime Records) joins the run of notable singers.
The new single FIRE (6th in the series) is already setting light to the Halloween playlists this season. Combining ELECTRO SWING elements with a broader HOUSE vibe, and even throwing a touch of DISCO POP into the mix, it is part of the ongoing build to ODD CHAP's debut album which will be made up entirely of these one-off guest vocal collaborations.
lyrics
You wanna talk about it?
Or not?
You're not adorable
I think you know that
Yeah I don't like your story
It's full of fear and fire
Didn't you know
This is not just some picture show
Didn't you know
You're to blame
It's like you're fire
Slowly burning down your empire
One strike of the match
The plan that you hatch
Comes crashing to the ground
Fire
Burning down your empire
Kingdom in flames
Stop playing these games
What ya fighting for
You know to find the answer
Just ask!
You're not unstoppable
I think you know that
Yeah I don't like your story
It's full of fear and fire
Didn't you know
This is not just some picture show
Didn't you know
You're insane
Fire
Slowly burning down your empire
It's time
You weren't so blind
Fire
Slowly burning down your empire
Kingdom in flames
Stop playing these games
What ya fighting for
End
