New!!! Top of the Electro Swing charts London based collective SWING SONIX return with a followup to their previous, welldeserved hit DANCE (TO SAVE YOUR SOUL). This time with a female vocal taking the lead. Out now here: https://idolio.ffm.to/ladyella

No less catchy, if a little more sophisticated, LADY ELLA is a song that superbly pulls off the technically challenging trick of blending 3 contrasting sections; ELECTRO SWING, SWING HOP and straightup SWING into a song that infectiously tributes the original JAZZ LEGEND Miss ELLA FITZGERALD. No prizes for guessing that this one is all about the SWING! (No, it don't mean a thing...) Listen and learn people...

LYRICS:

Gather round children, got a story to tell
About a gal I knew so well
She's the baddest gal in town
Listen to what I gotta say
Cause I'm gonna tell you right now

1934, just 15
She made her debut on the New York scene
Stepped out on the Apollo stage
And a curtain rose on a golden age
Ella sure put on a show
She could croon like Satchmo
When that voice soared to the skies
Oh the crowd could not believe their eyes

Sing it Lady Ella no one swings it like you
Feels the groovy beat the only way that you do
Since I heard that melody I can't help but move
Sing it
Swing it
Everybody knows that you're the Queen of Swing
Gets the party jumping every time you sing
Cause you know without you, no, it don't mean a thing

Gather round children, got a story to tell
About a gal I knew so well
She's the baddest gal in town
Listen to what I gotta say
Cause I'm gonna tell you right now

Sing it Lady Ella no one swings it like you
Feels the groovy beat the only way that you do
Since I heard that melody I can't help but move
Sing it
Swing it
Everybody knows that you're the Queen of Swing
Gets the party jumping every time that you sing
Cause you know without you, no, it don't mean thing

How I wish I could have seen her then
In New York City way back when
When Dizzy came to play and swing
And the band went wild for the Queen of Swing

Folks they came from far and wide
To see Miss Ella in her stride
When that voice soared up to the skies
Oh the crowd could not believe their eyes

Sing it Lady Ella no one swings it like you
Feels the groovy beat the only way that you do
Since I heard that melody I can't help but move
Sing it
Swing it
Everybody knows that you're the Queen of Swing
Gets the party jumping every time you sing
Cause you know without you, no, it don't mean a thing
