Seraphina Simone – 'Hollywood $$$'
Following the success of her debut single ‘Cherry <8’, Seraphina Simone returns with sparkling new offering ‘Hollywood $$$’.
With villainous bass lines and magnetic hooks, ‘Hollywood $$$’ is a haunting kind of beautiful. Seraphina’s intoxicating vocals draw you into the eye of her perfect storm as dark synths and dangerously infectious percussions swirl around you. Magnified by intricate lyricism, Seraphina paints vivid pictures of the dark side of fame and glamour. “’Hollywood $$$’ is about the Lynchian, fame-obsessive undercurrents of tinsel town, with its sirens, starlets, leeches & letches,” she explains. “It's about that world of smoke and mirrors - where nothing and no one is really as it seems, and the world of celebrity - where we deify or demonise people into these superhumans or arch villains. It's about how seductive fame can be, how it's something we all envision in the back of our minds - the perfect life without money worries where everyone loves us and we can do whatever we want - but it comes at a huge price and can destroy you if you chase it too hard.”
Seraphina Simone is a force of nature. With a voice like thunder and the songwriting skills to match, it won’t be long until she takes the world by storm.
