Elisa’s “You Can Wear The Mink” is surreal, 80s-influenced pop gold

22 March 2017, 15:00 | Written by Pip Williams

With its melodramatically staged video and nostalgic throb of synths, “You Can Wear The Mink” is the soulful new single from Elisa.

With a voice that draws parallels with Kate Bush’s more delicate moments, Elisa delivers an understated chorus bookended by 80s-inspired electronics. Drama and peculiarities abound, making this track at once slightly surreal and addictively listenable.

“‘You Can Wear The Mink’ is a song about surrendering to love,” Elisa explains. “The visual, filmed in a space that feels deliberately staged and somewhat removed from reality, is a reflection on the pursuit of fantasy and the safety that comes with pretending.”

The new track is taken from Elisa’s upcoming EP, Morning Again.

“You Can Wear The Mink” is out now.
