‘Hollywood $$$’ is the second release following Seraphina Simone’s debut single ‘Cherry <8’, which hit the speakers and earphones of listeners with a resounding success. Receiving support from the likes of Gal-dem Magazine, Idolator, The Rodeo, CLOUT, It’s All Indie, Audiofemme, Tongue Tied Magazine and many, many more. ‘Cherry <8’ also found its way into Spotify editorial playlists Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds: Indie and undercurrents.
Now, Seraphina Simone is once again turning her candid voice to the zenith of celebrity, the palm-treed streets where dreams are supposedly made and lives are destroyed, to that place we call Hollywood. As the talented musician shares:
“Hollywood $$$ is about the Lynchian, fame-obsessive undercurrents of tinsel town, with its sirens, starlets, leeches & letches. It’s about that world of smoke and mirrors – where nothing and no one is really as it seems, and the world of celebrity – where we deify or demonise people into these superhumans or arch villains. It’s about how seductive fame can be, how it’s something we all envision in the back of our minds – the perfect life without money worries where everyone loves us and we can do whatever we want – but it comes at a huge price and can destroy you if you chase it too hard.
Kim Gordon mentions ‘tarantula LA glamour’ in Girl In A Band, and that sums it up perfectly I think – the predatory darkness under the glitz.” – Seraphina Simone
