Daggers Lyrics:
Kitty’s got your tongue
C'mon feel me up
Cloak and dagger (dagger, dagger).
When you bit my lip,
I got a taste for blood
C'mon spit it out, faster (faster, faster).
“You got a pretty mouth.”
I see you eye-to-eye.
You don’t matter (matter).
I’m not an animal–I’m not an animal.
I don’t owe you. You don’t own me.
I don’t owe you. You don’t own me.
SHUT UP.

Any big plans for Thursday, 6/30? We suggest listening to the first Electric Bleau original song called “Daggers” (written and performed by AJ Haynes) on Spotify, and be sure to catch the accompanying music video on Vevo/YouTube! This is the first of five original songs recorded at Magnetic Audio this past March for the upcoming indie thriller. The music video was filmed at the iconic The Nick Rocks. Thanks Paste Magazine!

A big fat CONGRATS to Autumn Essie Bailey-Ford for signing with ICM Partners, one of the world’s largest talent and literary agencies. It’s no surprise to us that her career is exploding before our very eyes. She’s been on our side as a producer for Electric Bleau from almost the very beginning, so her confidence and enthusiasm mean the world. Go forth and conquer the world, Autumn!
The New Orleans Sazerac screening was a huge hit at the American Pavilion’s Emerging Filmmaker Showcase as part of the Festival de Cannes - Page Officielle! Cheers to everyone who had a hand in making this film, especially our trip sponsors Airbnb, Lucid Absinthe Supérieure, and Bourbon Columbia.
Electric Bleau writer and director Jen West is the first producer in Emerging Filmmaker Showcase history (founded in 1997) to have two projects accepted in the same year - The New Orleans Sazerac and Bottomless. Congrats to both teams that screened yesterday inside the American Pavilion as part of the Festival de Cannes - Page Officielle!
