Self-professed "high priestess of underground disco-pop", East London's Vanity Fairy shares nostalgic-bliss of new cut 'Love Of My Life' - out now via Moshi Moshi Records.
Reveling in kitsch-pop tropes and the hedonistic indulgences of classic disco, 'Love Of My Life' is both exquisitely nostalgic and deliciously fresh. Sounding like The Bee Gees as if conjured from a dream, the track is tongue-and-cheek and irresistibly playful. Vanity Fairy's distinctive, shimmering vocal falsetto smacks of nothing else but a deeply held desire to spread nothing innocent, unadulterated joy.
Describing more on the track, Vanity herself explains: "This one is a little day dream of a song in which I imagine what it would mean to have found my partner in crime, my numero uno, the apple of my eye... the love of my life. There's no better feeling I think. I wanted to try and capture all the lightness and sweetness of finding someone you just want to spend all your time with. I kept it quite direct and simple lyrically, to mirror the way the world feels when you find that new love. Everything falls into place, everything makes sense. Your guard is completely down."
Performing at Left Of The Dial, Sŵn and Mutations this Autumn - Vanity Fairy's incessant gigging schedule over the past 2 years - as well as making her an established cult favourite in the London grassroots scene and beyond - has seen her support the latest and greatest acts to grace the UK's alternative/indie scene in recent times. With dates with Pip Blom penciled for February 2024, Vanity Fairy has already performed alongside the likes of Warmduscher, Katy J Pearson, Lime Garden, Let's Eat Grandma, Girl Ray, Audiobooks, Opus Kink, Langkamer, Mandrake Handshake, Baba Ali...the list goes on.
The follow-up to 2021's 'Love From Above' EP, this latest tune offers the first glimpse of more music and exciting live news to come from Vanity Fairy in 2024.
Vanity Fairy's brand new single 'Love of My Life' is out now on Moshi Moshi.
If you could fully escape into your imagination and leave the real world behind, would you? For Vanity Fairy, it’s something she thinks about every day.
Love of My Life sits firmly in the imagined world of Vanity Fairy - the creation of songwriter and vocalist Daisy Capri - a vehicle within which she can escape to a world where disco remains Queen.
Daisy explains of the new single: “This one is a little day dream of a song in which I imagine what it would mean to have found my partner in crime, my numero uno, the apple of my eye... the love of my life. There's no better feeling I think. I wanted to try and capture all the lightness and sweetness of finding someone you just want to spend all your time with.
I kept it quite direct and simple lyrically, to mirror the way the world feels when you find that new love. Everything falls into place, everything makes sense.
It's a bit unfashionable and maybe even a bit fanciful I think to still believe in that kind of love; a passionate love that lasts...a love for life. But I don't mind that. It's a sweet thing to think about. It's a love letter to love.”
