Vanity Fairy

“Landing somewhere between Kate Bush, Sophie Ellis Bextor, and a Christmas-tree ornament, her infectious grooves and irrepressible stage presence come backed up by crystalline vocals that are delivered with all the effortlessness of bona-fide pop royalty.” DIY

"A post-disco bliss-scape" Clash

“New Banger” NME

“a triumphant injection of joy” The Most Radicalist

“…equal Parts ABBA and Warmduscher. Which on paper doesn’t sound like it definitely wouldn’t work. But it does! It’s really really good! ” Matt Wilkinson, Apple Music 

"Revelatory and fresh...pushing the backing track/singing form towards the bounds of dadaistic performance art." Hard of Hearin

Coinciding with a run of tour dates with Pip Blom this month - culminating with a slot at her landmark headline at London’s Heaven nightclub - London ‘high-priestess of underground disco-pop’ Vanity Fairy shares her most jubilant cut to-date with new release ‘Top of The Pops’ - out now via Moshi Moshi Records.

Smiling from ear-to-ear with unadulterated delights, ‘Top Of The Pops’ gathers all the giddying pleasures of Vanity’s notoriously fun live show and bottles them inside an exuberant disco-pop package.

Appropriately paired with an all-dancing, all-singing music video loaded to the hilt with glittering costumes, flying carpets and lit-up dancefloors, (with a few rainbows to spare ), the lyrical sentiment behind ‘Top Of The Pops’ is every bit as fun and joyous as the music itself, as Vanity explains:

"Top of the Pops’ charts that dreamy feeling when you and your partner hit the number one spot. When two people are in perfect sync, and the world is a mirror ball of glittering possibility. The chorus likens that feeling to the way all of the different elements in a beautiful piece of music come together to make one perfect thing - ‘I’m the rhythm to your melody / I’m in ecstasy and we are Top of the Pops’. It’s an ode to the timeless joy of hitting the heady heights of limitless love. A carnal carnival of pure disco delight, an unabashed celebration of a match made in heaven.

Performing at Left Of The Dial, Sŵn and Mutations last Autumn - Vanity Fairy’s latest release comes hot on the heels of a celebrated performance at DIY’s Hello 2024 showcase series and tour dates with Pip Blom, Mickey Callisto and Baba Ali.

It’s this incessant gigging schedule over the past 2 years that has seen Vanity Fairy become a much-loved cult favourite in the London grassroots scene and beyond, and which has seen her share stages with the latest and greatest acts to grace the UK's alternative/indie scene in recent times - Warmduscher, Katy J Pearson, Lime Garden, Let's Eat Grandma, Girl Ray, Audiobooks, Opus Kink, Langkamer, Mandrake Handshake, Baba Ali...the list goes on.

‘Top Of The Pop’ offers the latest in a prolific run of singles from the last few months, that has brought Vanity Fairy the backing of DIY, NME, BBC Radio 6 (New Music Fix/Amy Lamé), Matt Wilkinson (Apple Music) Hard of Hearing, The Most Radicalist, Still Listening, Hideous Mag and Post-Brexit Pop.
