about

‘So You Think’ is a laid-back jazz track featuring some serious piano chops, swinging upright bass, and a chihuahua.

I wrote it together with my friend Becci Wallace, an amazingly talented Glaswegian artist.

’So You Think’ is our response to society’s expectations of women. To stay young and beautiful. To leave the technical stuff to the guys. As you may have guessed, we don’t think so!

I hope you’ll enjoy the track as much as we enjoyed writing it! :)

lyrics

So you think
that I should get some sun
Tone my abs and bum
Get my eyebrows done
Well, I don’t

And you think
That I should show more skin
Maybe join a gym
Get a bit more thin
Well, I don’t

Should I apply a filter
Turn my camera just off kilter
And brush away the years and days?
Every line is a reminder
You can only get a life when you age

You think I
Should wear my heals more high
Act less like a guy
That I don’t know DIY
Well, I do

And you think
I should contour my face
Buy a razor blade
Maybe epilate
Why don’t you?

Should I take 200 pics
Maybe steam my inner bits
Buy a photogenic handbag dog?
God, I wish I could delete you
It’s really hard to know when to
#stop

Should I apply a filter
Turn my camera just off kilter
And brush away the years and days?
Every line is a reminder
You can only get a life when you fricking age!

So you think
Well, I don’t
