about
A great pop song is like a great friend: an intimate confidante, a shoulder to cry on, and a partner in crime when you’re ready to get dolled up and dance the pain away under the disco ball (or in front of your bedroom mirror.) That’s what you’ll find on ‘Entertainment', the debut single from Marci of Montreal soft-rock group TOPS, who steps out on her own in self-assured style. Like much of classic pop, ‘Entertainment' is focused on the ups and downs of love. Produced and recorded with her TOPS bandmate David Carriere, it's a song about flirting with fantasy, and the cat and mouse game of lust that uses an irresistibly ‘80s-tinged mix of synth arpeggios and smooth saxophone runs to emphasize the song’s inherent sense of friskiness. “Do you get off on my type?/ Maybe it’s the saxophone,” she sings playfully.
lyrics
it’s entertainment...
you tell me you’re all but uptight
c’mon tell me what you don’t
do you get off on my type?
maybe it’s the saxophone
if i could change it
if i could take it
baby
hot lovin’
angel
sugar
honey, you’re chasing
can you taste it?
get some more of it
maybe it’s nothing i’m craving…
its entertainment
you better count your luck twice
three they get nice, uh-huh
boy it’s too late for good night
your momma’s waiting in the car
entertain me all night
it’s entertainment
you got me changing my mind
c’mon you’re feigning
ballyhoo
find a replacement
ballyhoo
cos i’m on vacation
A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
Somewhere between new-wave and yacht-rock, TOPS are carrying the torch for smooth music. Always hypnotic.
Perfected Steps is a masterpiece, what an achievement. pat dry

Smart, energetic and hooky; modern take on a post-punk/new wavey vibe with lyrics that perfectly capture the distortions of modern life, social media, etc. Claire Battle
