Video: CLASS ACTRESS - Let Me Take You Out

​Elizabeth Harper's story is so damn Brooklyn that it's almost cliché. After releasing an album of acoustic coffeehouse songs under her own name, she hooked up with two producers, Scott Rosenthal...

Just had a DUH moment after deciding I need to post Class Actress ' cover of Neon Indian's "Terminally Chill". How have we never written about her on OTR? Elizabeth Harper is the beauty and the brains in Class Actress and not just another Madonna influenced Brooklyn Darling. Cooing over 80s colored sexified synths and unabashedly winning your heart. Your boyfriend might not admit it but her recently rereleased EP "Journal of Ardency" has him turned on with tracks like "Careful What You Say" and in love after hearing "Let Me [...]

• Class Actress - Terminally Chill (Neon Indian Cover)

I've been absolutely obsessed with this ep since I received it in my e-mail back in December. Class Actress ' debut ep Journal of Ardency comes out today and I think your Valentine's Day will sound much better with this stuff coming out of your speakers. Get the vinyl at Terrible Records . Also, don't miss Class Actress when she plays Death By Audio with Nite Jewel and Blondes on February 14th. You can also read my review of the Journal of Ardency ep [...]

Primeiramente muito obrigado ao Beano por esta maravilhosa indicação. Diretamente do Brooklyn, um dos caldeirões da música moderna, (fato que não pode ser negado!) esse trio faz um Ep com um synth-pop de alta qualidade, sem exagerar nos teclados, e sabendo balancear com maestria os efeitos com a voz atemporal da vocal Elizabeth Harper. A sequência inicial com "Careful What You Say", "Journal Of Ardency" e "Let Me Take You Out" deu uma força tremanda pra este Ep, e se lhe resta alguma dúvida da qualidade desta banda, assista o vídeo de "Let Me [...]

There's something extremely decadent about what I'm doing at this very moment: eating strawberries and listening to the liquidy voice of Elizabeth Harper, the songbird from electro-pop trio Class Actress . The Brooklyn band creates the kind of makeout music that's sweet, yet sexy enough for girls to use as their striptease soundtrack for their boyfriends on Valentine's Day. Influenced by early Madonna, but reminiscent of synth-pop 80's bands, Class Actress struts around with their "stalker-pop" sound on "Journal of Ardency" then takes us on a romantic frolic around Harper's dreamy vocals with "Let Me Take You Out." Their [...]

Après quelques jours magiques passés dans le sud de la France, me voilà de retour prêt à vous délivrer la playlist que vous attendez tous. L'hiver est là et je vais tenter de vous réchauffer les oreilles en cette froide matinée... Et pourquoi ne pas débuter en compagnie de la douce et délicate Laura Gibson ? Elle vient de Coquille, un village près de Portland, Oregon. Je l'avais découverte lors de la sortie du réussi If You Come To Greet Me , et elle revient avec Beast Of Seasons , un EP composé [...]

I'm so excited to have my hands on a new electro-pop ground fronted by Elizabeth Harper aka Class Actress . Fans of Glass Candy , Fan Death , and anything that Italians Do It Better puts out will love this. She's got a beautiful low-key voice and the band sure do love their slick bass against ethereal synths. I love the emotion in this song both vocally and lyrically . But don't let me sway you, the EP's juxtaposed simple yet complex lyrics with feel good, driving [...]
