BONUS Single Of The Week: “Dream I Had” by Revenge Wife

Becoming visible as a new artist for the last year and a half has been a tricky game. The most practical option is to tour and get your music in front of as many live faces as possible. Or befriend as many DJs as you can and get them to spin your tracks in front of an audience. Neither of these things have been an option for most of 2020 and 2021, and although live events are starting to wake up a little, so is the Delta variant, so we could possibly lose these shows any moment now. (GET VACCINATED NOW!) 

It’s been important to get creative and think outside the box. Or, in the case of Revenge Wife, aka Elizabeth Nistico, focus your energy on the last art form that really drove artist discovery: THE MUSIC VIDEO. Nistico has made an amazing, captivating series of music videos that all tie into each other, creating one cohesive story. “Dream I Had” is the latest chapter, following “Home,” “Earthquake,” and “Manifest.” Please watch in that order. And subscribe to her VEVO channel, because the story isn’t over yet. 

All of these tracks can be found on Revenge Wife’s recently released EP, Background Songs for Your Boring Life, Part 1which can be streamed/purchased in all of your favorite streaming and purchasing portals. 

 

Single Of The Week: “Manifest” by Revenge Wife

One of my favorite video tropes is the “female murdering their male partner” trope. Kesha gave us a great one in 2019 with “Raising Hell.” The Dixie Chicks’ “Earl” stands as a classic. And now Elizabeth Nistico, under her aptly named alter-ego Revenge Wife, brings us “Manifest.” This is a thrilling tale of love gone awry, and, quite honestly, this music video might be the best movie I’ve seen all year. (I also have a two-year-old that is trapped at home with me due to the pandemic, and when that kid is asleep, I’m either running this blog, working, or trying to make sure the house doesn’t fall to pieces, so there’s not a lot of time for movie watching. 3 minutes and 12 seconds IS my free time) The song itself is some hyperpop brilliance, and I’m really excited about all of this madness ending so I can enjoy this genre live. 

“Manifest” is the second single off Revenge Wife’s forthcoming EP Background Songs For Your Boring Life, Part 1. The release date is still TBA, but you can keep up with Nistico on Instagram and Twitch!
