Gl\\xfcme - "Do Me a Favor," a 2022 single on Italians Do It Better.

Describing Gl\\xfcme could be easy - a wide-eyed chanteuse who channels equal parts Marilyn Monroe and Lana del Rey - but it would be reductive. Especially considering her status as one of the newest additions to the Italians Do It Better roster, who are known for their icey cool-as-hell synth-filled soundscapes. How does the pouty, Monroe-reincarnated pop princess fit in with the leather-clad cool kids?

The answer is something along the lines of: the girl\\u2019s got chops. On our Song of the Day, \\u201cDo Me a Favor,\\u201d the latest single from Gl\\xfcme, is an upbeat ode to the insecurities that often plague one\\u2019s mind from being burned too many times. How can you recognize if something is real after so many heartbreaks? Sometimes the answer is sometimes just in the other person making the bold moves. \\u201cDo me a favor and take me,\\u201d she begs.

The single is off her forthcoming sophomore record Main Character, out on Valentine\\u2019s Day 2023 and follows 2021\\u2019s lauded The Internet. It comes with a gay western-themed video in which Gl\\xfcme is dressed in a red leather dress and gets wooed by a cowgirl that leads them to an onslaught of debauchery in a tiny tumbleweed town. Watch the video, directed by George Baron, and read the full post at KEXP.org.
