The Scarlet Opera, Mirror Mirror [๐Ÿ“ท: SRV LabelCo, LLC]โ€œIt took a dirtbag lover and a five-foot gutter just to know Iโ€™m a sucker for you.โ€ Oh, snap ๐Ÿซฐ! Los Angeles rock band The Scarlet Opera brings fierceness to โ€œSluttyโ€, the third track from their 2024 EP, Mirror Mirror. โ€œYeah, itโ€™s a long, cold summer that you spent with your mother, I was stuck in the Hollywood Zoo.โ€ Animalistic! Originally Perta, the band reinvented themselves in 2022 as The Scarlet Opera.ย  Per Queerty, their name is inspired by the famous Nathaniel Hawthorne novel, The Scarlet Letter. ย The collective comprises Luka Bazulka ๐Ÿฅต ๐Ÿ˜ (vocals), Colin Kenrick (keys), Daniel Zuker (bass), Justin Siegal (drums), and Chance Taylor (guitar). โ€œSluttyโ€ was produced by David Stewart.

โ€œSluttyโ€ is three-and-a-quarter minutes of glorious music. From the beginning, The Scarlet Opera brings exuberance.ย  Also, they bring top-notch musicianship to the table.ย  The keyboard (Kenrick) sounds awesome adding Elton John vibes.ย  The guitar riffs (Taylor) and the overall sound give Queen vibes. The articulated horns add a degree of funk that kicks ass and takes names.ย  Speaking of kicking ass and taking names, with his assertive lead vocals, Luka Bazulka reminds me of the likes of Freddie Mercury and Matthew Bellamy of Muse. Heโ€™s a dynamic frontman. He brings the rhythmic, tuneful melodies to life like a champ.ย  โ€œBrand new city, prissy club / This is not beginnerโ€™s luck,โ€ he sings in the pre-chorus, continuing, โ€œWhisky bar, the boys are rough / Iโ€™m not always like this, butโ€ฆโ€ Guess what the boy makes him? โ€œYou make me so slutty.โ€ Word! The chorus and keyword get fun, playful, and โ€˜over-the-topโ€™ treatment.ย  The outro of โ€œSluttyโ€ is as fun to listen to as everything else.

pride heart burstโ€œHey, bitch, apparently the doorman does not know Iโ€™m with the band. Um, Iโ€™m in the front with the security guard. Will somebody come and explain to him that Iโ€™m gorgeous and itโ€™s not my fault that everybody wants to f*ck me? Come get me before I start kicking and screaming and causing a scene!โ€

After the skit, Luka โ€˜does the damn thang,โ€™ wowing with his powerful pipes, while those horns help fuel the fire. โ€œSluttyโ€ by The Scarlet Opera is the sugar honey iced tea.ย  Fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ!
