ABOUT:
The retro-styled pianist and singer with her band were early on the Electro Swing/Vintage Pop scene back in 2012 with the massive single DON'T STOP. The track SILENT MOVIE is part of a more recent EP released on FRESHLY SQUEEZED. Jazzy vocals, dance beats, sophisticated lyrics and classic song-writing combine to lift the quality bar high with killer remixes from JAMIE BERRY and ODD CHAP completing the package. Mixing 20s and 30s vintage swing with modern dance music has of course invited comparison with the likes of Caro Emerald, Swingrowers and Swing Republic to name but a few, however Little Violet remains very much it's own thing.
LITTLE VIOLET were due to play the Festival circuit in 2020 but the current lockdown has put a halt to that. We hope to return with a LIVE video when we can (it was already half cut!), but in the meantime, enjoy this tribute to the brilliant Hollywood film THE ARTIST. If you haven't seen the movie already, you really must. We loved it. Clever, funny, and exceptionally well made.

SILENT MOVIE (LYRICS)
VERSE 1
I don't need no chitter chatter
Sweet nothings, tiresome natter
Words get in the way
I don't need to hear what you have to say.
Chat up lines have become a bore
I just need a man I adore
A lustful hold and stare
A passionate love affair
PRE CHORUS
I'm an old fashioned girl
Looking for a man to show me romance
Shower me with kisses and a moonlit dance
CHORUS 1
I want you to woo me
Take me back to black and white, like a silent movie
Squeeze me tight but hold your tongue
I want you to woo me
A gentleman will never tell
Like a silent movie
I don't need no talking pictures
Suit and tie polished shoes
Slick back hair, no I can't refuse
One wink and I am yours smile and I'll fall to the floor
A simple tale of boy meets girl
He serenades with flowers and pearls
A lustful hold and stare
A passionate love affair
I'm an old fashioned girl
Looking for a man to show me romance
Shower me with kisses and a moonlit dance
I want you to woo me
Take me back to black and white, like a silent movie
Squeeze me tight but hold your tongue
I want you to woo me
A gentleman will never tell
Like a silent movie
I don't need no talking pictures
The wandering eye oh why don't you learn
Those broken hearts will continue to burn
A picture house will help me redeem
Take me to the stars on the screen.
I want you to woo me
Take me back to black and white, like a silent movie
Squeeze me tight but hold your tongue
I want you to woo me
A gentleman will never tell
Like a silent movie
I don't need no talking pictures
Written and sung by Cherie Gears AKA Little Violet
Performed by her band.
