🎵 Keep It To Yourself

If all goes as planned, I will be going to see the bands TOPS and Men I Trust at the Ritz in the fall. While I mentally prepare to see those bands live, there is a new track from TOPS spinoff Marci, the "solo" effort of Marta Cikojevic (with plenty of help from David Carriere). The video has a tight focus on Cikojevic as she wanders around an urban landscape lip synching into a microphone.

The song is more of what we've come to expect from the pairing of Cikojevic and Carriere — smooth stylings heavily indebted to 70s sensibilities. It's theme, though, centers around appreciating the person you are with. There are consequences for stepping out, and Cikojevic warns us that it's a mistake. Cheers for monogamy.
