Channeling golden disco divas from days of yore, Gold Casio’s electric new single Champagne Kisses brings as much glistening 70s vibe as modern Gaga punch. Delivering a track where the worlds of Donna Summer and Dua Lipa collide, lead vocalist Ela Ra will entrance you as sparkling guitars and growling synth make way to a cathartic chorus that will have your heart breaking on the dance floor. Swirling synthesizer layers and Mark Ronson-esque production flare bring the track to sweltering heights before releasing the listener into the throes of psychedelic pop ecstasy. And with the single including a longer Ego Death Extended mix, even the likes of Daft Punk and Georgio Moroder will be left begging for more.
lyrics
I’ll let you drink from my oasis
Don’t wanna hear about your cold feet
I dwell above the realm of heaven dreaming sticky-sweet
Don’t speak too loudly darlin’
I fear you’ll wake the beast
Declare it oh so gently
Lie directly in my ear
Project your image like I can’t see
But then I noticed you
Walking taller than a chapel’s organ
Sex in every step
Flamingo glow, I’ll cool your menthol senses
Aggression at its best, I’ll take it there
Mull it over, smashing records in my head
Repetitive, my needle feels broken but I like this pace instead
I’ll play it one more time it’s all I hear inside my head
I feel it, I feel it, it’s all because of you!
You’re the only reason for the break and every beat of my heart
It’s only you! You’re the reason for it, every break and every beat of my heart
Said too much, it’s what I’ve done
Moved too slow, what have I done
I’ll lock it up, precious soul
Inside beauty, I unfold you!
Let it flow forth like a mace of angels
Congruence like a seam, I rip it deep
Baby I lose my sight when I speak your name
Lust and Love, you’re all the same.
Kiss me, uh!
I could lose you in a single second, never to be found
Legacy, I impress and embrace it
I’m on the highest cloud, a’waitin’ here
Mull it over, smashing records in my head
Repetitive, my needle feels broken but I like this pace instead
I’ll play it one more time it’s all I hear inside my head
I feel it, I feel it, it’s all because of you!
You’re the only reason for the break and every beat of my heart
It’s only you! You’re the reason for it, every break and every beat of my heart
You’re the reason for it, every break and every beat of my heart
You! You, you, baby!
You’re the reason for it, every break and every beat of my heart
