And now for the official premiere of Beauty Doesn't Exist by Glamazon
"BEAUTY DOESN'T EXIST" PREMIERE
Opening with a haunting piano intro which leads listeners to believe that the latest Glamazon single is a ballad, they soon come in for a shock as we hear crunchy synth and a strong, dominating drum beat throughout the Hollywood-lifestyle rejecting anthem. Everything drops out for the pre-chorus in which Glamazon sings over nothing but a more simplified, yet effective drum beat; before the song explodes into its powerful chorus where we hear the electric guitar being introduced. The electro-rock tinged track gets a much needed kick as it builds from that first chorus and onto the second verse, the drums become more intense and the electric guitar remains prominent, Glamazon's vocals become louder and definitely more impressive, especially the second pre-chorus where she takes her voice up a higher register. The song's rap middle-eight shows Glamazon in a different light to many of her other tracks, and after confessing she believed she was a fairly good rapper, she puts it all on display with her fast-paced delivery over bleepy synth and a thundering bassline.
Quote:"I think every young girl and woman has felt some sort of pressure from society and the media to fit in with the ladies you see in fashion magazines, feeling the need to be stick-thin... when really, from my experience, guys like a woman with a bit of meat on her, right? That's where my idea for the song began, it's mainly all about those who can't see their real beauty and believe that it doesn't exist. Just because you're larger than most corpse-like models doesn't mean you're fat, it means you're healthy, the true tragedy in it all are the women who walk around looking like skeletons. We all have days where we feel insecure, but I wanted to challenge the Hollywood lifestyle that they call it, the life of a size zero glamour model. I wanted to confront the fact that some girls go to such a drastic measure to be like the size zero women that they see, that it spirals out of control, they get lost in Hollywood, take drugs, want surgery, starve themselves, and you know the ending of it all. It's definitely something that I hope women of all ages can relate to, enjoy, sweethearts!"

"Beauty Doesn't Exist"
(V. Rios)
Size zero, strutting down the Hollywood Hills
Starving herself to death, swallows a mouth full of pills
Ripping up price tags, clears her bank accounts
Apparently beauty doesn't come in an exact amount
Under that mask of make-up she thinks she's hot stuff
Deep down she's crying, those cracks will appear soon enough
Skin and bones, sticks and stones
Begging for one more loan
Needs herself another dose of plastic
Thinks she'll look so fantastic
Honey, you're nothing short of drastic
A skeleton dressed in a designer dress
Perfection just seems so hard to achieve
A corpse trying to look her best
She wears her heart on her sleeve
But she never sees the reflection she wants
She's always at war with the girl staring back
Never leaves the house without lipstick to flaunt
Never leaves the house without her lashes so black
She says her beauty doesn't exist, but her look's a lie
When the real beauty is staring right into her eyes
Big dreams leading to an early grave
Vogue's magazine pages only make her a slave
She pins the models on her wall
And then the countdown starts, waiting for her fall
Her mind says surgery is the only way to form a smile
She's gotta live life with a false face in style
Skin and bones, sticks and stones
Begging for one more loan
Needs herself another dose of plastic
Thinks she'll look so fantastic
Honey, you're nothing short of drastic
A skeleton dressed in a designer dress
Perfection just seems so hard to achieve
A corpse trying to look her best
She wears her heart on her sleeve
But she never sees the reflection she wants
She's always at war with the girl staring back
Never leaves the house without lipstick to flaunt
Never leaves the house without her lashes so black
She says her beauty doesn't exist, but her look's a lie
When the real beauty is staring right into her eyes
(Rap)
Take that magic powder, block out the cries
That girl's a hot mess, falling into her demise
Thinks she looks so hot on her no carb diet
Then her time comes and she goes quiet
Her skinny little lungs no longer full of oxygen
And I bet she wishes she coulda gone back again
To change all the mess in her head
To put all those demons of hers to bed
Dead on the floor, looking so pale, so thin
Hated life in her own skin
Drugs and nose jobs, that was the life
Strike a pose under the knife
She lived her life like a Barbie doll
And now she's another to add to the death toll
Skin and bones, sticks and stones
Begging for one more loan
Needs herself another dose of plastic
Thinks she'll look so fantastic
Honey, you're nothing short of drastic
A skeleton dressed in a designer dress
Perfection just seems so hard to achieve
A corpse trying to look her best
She wears her heart on her sleeve
But she never sees the reflection she wants
She's always at war with the girl staring back
Never leaves the house without lipstick to flaunt
Never leaves the house without her lashes so black
She says her beauty doesn't exist, but her look's a lie
When the real beauty is staring right into her eyes
Available 26th September on Studio 60 Records.
