The album was called 'The Divine Comedy' and was amazing. It was released in 1994, with the brilliant lead single 'Gentlemen Who Fell' preceding it. It was folksy, earthy, catchy and grounded, and though the LP was far from polished, it was a hidden gem of 90's alt-pop that deserved more fanfare than it received from the general public. To us, though, it was the soundtrack to our year, and was hardly out of our 5-CD changer at any given time.
Of course, right after the album came and went with ABSOLUTELY NO ONE NOTICING, Miss Jovovich's film career exploded and music was understandably shoved to the wayside. And so it remained for, oh, two decades or so.
But no longer, ScopiSubjects, because she is back with a big new track called 'Electric Sky.'
It's a world away from her nearly 20-year old debut, and finds the modtress (actel?) taking up a disco-y club style that wouldn't seem at all out of place in the aforementioned 'Fifth Element.' It's all KILLER BASSLINE and ETHEREAL VOCALS and is under 3 minutes long, so requires very little commitment on the listener's part, which is always a good thing unless you're a 20-minute remix of Kylie or we're on ecstasy and have access to unlimited amounts of glo-sticks.
In short, it's a great little pop song, and is only the first track of what Milla hopes will be a "6 to 7 track EP" which will come out......sometime.
Let's hope it's not another 20 years from now.
