Some of the highest praise I can give a song is saying that it makes you feel like you\u2019re watching a movie in your head. In the case of this new offering from Northwest London\u2019s ELNO<\/a><\/strong> and Josh Pearce<\/strong>, it\u2019s right in the name. A groovy, languid slow-jam and sneakily profound look into the striking parallels between life and cinema, \u201cMovie\u201d has that big-screen vibe, and a snazzy animated video to boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMovie\u201d was born out of disappointment, after ELNO<\/strong> (aka Elliott Norman<\/em>) and his best mate Josh Pearce<\/strong> (the song\u2019s skillful vocalist) left an early screening of Christopher Nolan<\/em>\u2018s \u201cTENET\u201d feeling a bit let down. What resulted is a tune that does something fairly genius by serving as both an homage to their love for the art of film, and an exploration into some of the deeper connections between what\u2019s on the screen and what\u2019s in our heads with lyrics like \u201cLife is no movie\u201d. Musically, ELNO<\/strong> and Josh<\/strong>\u2018s nearly lifelong friendship is palpable through the incredibly tight connection between the nuanced, jazzy production and the restrained-yet-powerful vocals. I can\u2019t quite pinpoint a specific film that this vibe is reminding me of, but I can say that the movie for \u201cMovie\u201d feels like it would have a young Leo DiCaprio<\/em> involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This single is more than just about favorite films. It\u2019s a best-friend-forever handshake on understanding that you can\u2019t just press pause on life like you can on camera. You can\u2019t give your time away to anyone, not even Christopher Nolan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This is exactly the kind of silky sound your weekend needs, and it gets bonus points for recognizing that TENET was pretty \u201cmeh\u201d. Break out the popcorn and get this one spinning in 3\u2026 2\u2026 1\u2026 action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
