After relocating to London from her native Liverpool, British singer/songwriter Jetta began her career as a gun for hire, singing backup for Paloma Faith and Cee Lo Green. The daughter of an a cappella singer and a sound engineer, Jetta was immersed in music from a young age. Her rich, powerful voice made her a standout among London’s session singers and she quickly began stepping out on her own, landing a solo deal with Republic Records. In 2013 she released her debut EP, Start a Riot, and the soulful title cut became a breakout underground hit in the U.K., drawing comparisons to Florence + the Machine, the xx, and Adele. Working with producer Jim Eliot (Ellie Goulding, M.I.A.), Jetta set about recording her debut LP, due in 2014.
Jetta – Operators
Jetta – Operators Lyrics:
(Verse)
You think you want the more to like you
Don’t you and I
Don’t blame me for the trouble around you
It’s clear to me, that you need a sign
So close your eyes, tell em not to leave you alone
(Chorus x2)
All the operators pulling your strings baby oh oh, oh oh
So lift your hands up, push them all the way, come on oh oh, oh oh
(Verse)
Running down the road and the sun light beams in our eyes
And you, are looking at me now like you should be
It’s paradise, they’ve gone away
We close our eyes, there’s nothing else that we really need, need
Nothing, nothing
(Chorus x2)
All the operators pulling your strings baby oh oh, oh oh
So lift your hands up, push them all the way, come on oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh…
(Chorus)
All the operators pulling your strings baby oh oh, oh oh
So lift your hands up, push them all the way, come on oh oh, oh oh
