The singer-songwriter Mollie Elizabeth, just 21 and based in Washington, entered into the scene last year with her debut single titled “Vegas Venetian.”
Now out on the lauded Neon Gold Records, home to icons such as Charli XCX, Marina, and Tove Lo, this track is a lush and cinematic fever dream that pulls listeners into the shining worlds of escapism.
“Vegas Venetian” was first cut as a self-produced bedroom demo before it took on a life of its own after going viral last fall. Its runaway success reached the ears of lauded producer Dean Reid – known for his work alongside Lana Del Rey, Alessia Cara, and Marina – who stepped in to help Mollie bring the song into full form, with an honest studio version that embellishes its sweeping and ethereal qualities without losing its raw magic.
Praised as an escapist fantasy “dripping in glitter and gold,” “Vegas Venetian” weaves a rich tapestry of sound that whisks listeners off to the most sumptuous of dreamscapes.
Mollie’s evocative vocals slide smoothly over lush instrumentation to create a sonic world which sounds at once timeless and timely.
Drawing comparisons to the cinematic elegance of Lana Del Rey and the jazz-inflected warmth of Laufey, Mollie Elizabeth has established herself as one of the more compelling new voices in modern indie music.
With the shimmering production and the evocative storytelling of this track, Mollie Elizabeth can easily be an artist who builds a whole world around her music-a great introduction and a promise for what is about to come.
