The rapidly rising producer, SidekoDJ, has a knack for House music, blended with melodic elements of pop, rock, R&B that’s irresistibly evocative and entertaining.
‘Bette Davis Eyes’ is a track that exudes a fantastic charisma and confidence, like that person who walks into a room with an unbeatable swagger, and of course then, all heads swivel instinctively towards them. This track is a reimagination of the 1980s classic pop track by Kim Carnes, amped with modern punk and Billie Eilish-esque swagger.
We open with smoky blues guitar strums, hypnotic bass grooves and thumping beats leading into the opening verse, sung sultrily and suggestively.
The lyrics break down the definition of that showstopper of a woman. The title, ‘Bette Davis Eyes’ wittily references the intensity and forcefulness conveyed by one of the most legendary actresses to ever set screen alight, Bette Davis. The emphasis is firmly on conveying the similarity to this silver screen icon.
Musically, SidekoDJ opts for a slow-burning buildup, layering by teasing seductive musical layer until it drops into a grooving, gyrating electro pop arrangement. There’s no rush here, just a supreme confidence and swagger in his crisp, clean production, delivering an awesome, balanced sound.
‘Bette Davis Eyes’ is a compact, well-put-together track meant for easy listening and late evenings, driving with the roof down, head bobbing to this smooth groove, and cruising in style. After all, you’re in the company of a gorgeous beauty with the ‘Bette Davis Eyes’!
