Mixing #electroswing with a dash of NEW RETRO and CLASSIC SOUL, this renowned 5 piece female vocal group join the Freshly Squeezed roster in 2023. Fresh from UK TV talent shows, collaborations & a tour with label-mate MISTA TRICK, we're pleased to release the first single SEE YOU LATER. Listen to their debut album featuring SEE YOU LATER here: https://idol-io.ffm.to/whatsagirltodo

Taken from the forthcoming album by ELLE & THE POCKET BELLES, the vintage lifestyle icons frequently appear in the broadsheets and are regulars at events like GOODWOOD REVIVAL. ELLE is currently on a UK and GERMAN tour with the MISTA TRICK collective and will appear with the full band at many UK festivals (to be announced after the tour concludes) - ELLE & THE POCKET BELLES meanwhile are playing UK vintage stages and festivals also TBA.

Described by Glastonbury Festival programmer Chris Tofu as "The most saleable Electro Swing act I've ever seen", the group are reminiscent of a cross between classic 60s soul and 50s girl groups given a joyful and wry modern twist. As such they fit perfectly alongside other artists on the label such as THE SPEAKEASY THREE or LITTLE VIOLET.

ELLE & THE POCKET BELLES are:
Elle, Michaela, Chloé, Cat and Joanna

LYRICS:

See you later boy, I will not play this game
See you later boy, my beat is back again
I will not let you stay and keep me down
So take your hat, and take your coat
Ooo I'll see you around

Do do do da ba do ba do x 2
You must go!

Do do do da ba do ba do x 2
(See you later)

No no no, I can't take anymore
I said no no no, I have to show you the door
'Cause I can't take no more of your dirty lies lies lies
And even though it's breaking me inside...
You must go!

See you later boy, I will not play this game
(See you later)
See you later boy, my beat is back again
I will not let you stay and keep me down
So take your hat, and take your coat
Ooo I'll see you around

Do do do da ba do ba do x2

No no no, (no no no) My patience is thin (no no no)
I said no no no, (no no no) I will never give in (no no no)
'Cause I can't take no more of your cheating ways (ways ways ways)
And even though it's killing me to say
You must go!

See you later boy, I will not play this game
See you later boy, my beat is back again
I will not let you stay and keep me down
So take your hat, and take your coat
Ooo I'll see you around

And I don't want to be hasty
I don't wanna rip you down
But you're making me look crazy and I don't want you around
And I hope that you're happy with this new life that you found
You'll be making me happy when you walk right outta town...
You must go!

See you later boy, I will not play this game
(See you later)
See you later boy, my beat is back again
I will not let you stay and keep me down
So take your hat, and take your coat, Ooo
So take your hat, and take your coat, Ooo
I'll see you around
