Charm Offensive

All going out tonight, where the people go under city lights.
And you can hear them on the street and they’re going all night,
Going out in the inner city tonight.
Full moon on a Saturday night
Get the pills and the guys with their quiffs all right
And the shirts are crisply ironed and the ties tightly tight
And the fake tan’s on in the city tonight.

Full moon on a Saturday night
Going out in the city, in the city tonight. 
Full moon on a Saturday night
Going out in the city and it’s hot tonight.

Even roads are hot tonight
And the storms are brewing, just not in the sky
And the heels are clacking down along with vodka shots
And they’re laughing ‘bout the blonde that keeps giving the looks.
Hot city on a Saturday night
And the girls are dressed to kill and they’re dancing all night.
It’s a charm offensive on a Saturday night
And the full moon’s hot and the city’s alight.

It’s a charm offensive on a Saturday night
The full moon’s hot and the city’s alight
And the sirens keep going all the night, yeah
The sirens keep going all the night.

Edie Review " Thankfully Steph is still ploughing her particular esoteric furrow and has just released her new single Edie which is as good as anything she's released to date. It sounds like a darkly psychedelic theme from a long forgotten  left field spaghetti western and it's absorbing and utterly enchanting. If the Velvet Underground had been commissioned to do the title track for the Good, The Bad and the Ugly, this is how it would sound." The Devil Has The Best Tuna 13th May 2022

Gigradar "British singer-songwriter Steph Sweet freely admits she’s a “refined taste” but it’s difficult to not be intrigued by her feisty, often contentious approach to pyschy acoustic indie-rock meets punk brand of music."

Popocculture
"Steph Sweet has brought an interesting and new sound to this area.
With powerful vocals, and swirlly and crunchy guitar riffs that wouldn’t sound out of place in a late 90’s britpop, yet grounded somewhere more in the early 80’s. “All The Things” is dark, broody, a little strange, but also interestingly an ear worm that will grab you and not let go." 

" If the Bronte sisters formed a freak folk band then it'd probably sound something like this." 
Paul Kerr - The Devil Has The Best Tuna

" Placed somewhere between Devandra Banhart and Joanna Newsome, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist  -  vocals, guitars, drums, keyboards  -   combines a talent for bewitching songwriting, with a dreamy, lo-fi alt-gaze delivery."
