Today's Video Share: "Pink Flamingo" by Beverley Kitty Green

Pink Flamingo was mostly filmed in Las Vegas over lockdown, with musician friends helping with filming. At the time I lived in a house previously owned by soul legend Gladys Knight, purchased by Broadway performer Ruby Lewis who also features in the video. It’s the story of the craziness and uncertainty of lockdown and how a house full of singers and musicians supported each other when there were little or no performance opportunities. I’d arrived in Vegas from the UK initially for a month but stayed on as all my music and teaching work was cancelled due to covid.

This gritty yet soothing soundscape is Elsa's latest release. South London’s singer-songwriter is back with her third single and music video of the year, exploring the realms of escapism and the burning desire to break free.

Speaking on the track, Elsa says: “We’ve all been there..We’ve all had the desire to escape, and for a time in my life that was all I knew. The track transforms into an anthem of resilience and self-belief, just like my own personal journey”.

‘Cannot Stay’ unveils a darker, moodier side to her artistry, showcasing her versatility as a singer and songwriter. Elsa takes artistic autonomy to new heights, this being Elsa's SECOND self-directed music video of the year.

The song seamlessly captures the essence of London—its pulsating rhythms, its enigmatic beauty, and its underlying complexities while the video features its beautiful skylines, and stunning shots of Peckham.

Elsa proves again her commitment to showing authenticity in her music. In a world fixated on the glitz and glam, she champions vulnerability and openness, inviting listeners into a space of genuine emotionality.

Featuring legendary UK hitmaker (and Sage’s frequent touring mate) Howard Jones on duet vocals, and a Bacharach-esque orchestral arrangement, the poignant ballad captures the age-old dilemma of would-be lovers meeting at the wrong time. Sage enthuses: "It was an enormous honor to have Howard Jones involved in recording the duet version, and he couldn’t have been any more encouraging or positive throughout the process! I’m still pinching myself that one of my very favorite artists and humans agreed to collaborate with me on such a delicate ballad – and was so protective of the song, as well."

Today's Video Share: "Call the Police" by Liz Aday

This song was written 3 decades ago while I was living alone on the ground floor apartment. I ordered pizza and the delivery man kept my number, took note of my address, and proceeded to stalk me. I never recorded it until March of 2023. The song is still relevant as the pizza stalker is a foggy old memory, over the years, the song has become an anthem for various antagonists. It is about self-preservation.

While the song is served up with a whimsical & cheeky vibe.... the incident that birthed Call The Police terrified me. Situations & circumstances that followed through the years... a handful of abusers from overbearing gaslighters to “call security” restraining order moments... I continue to see ALL of them in mind while singing Call The Police.
