is a sinister, alluring track. The heart of the song is built around the sampled vocal melody which hints at my Turkish heritage & Morricone. It's the gentle innocence, sometimes cheeky, leading you through, juxtaposed against the sinister harshness. Lyrically/melodically it lures you in, then attacks. Telling a tale of sweet deception, the songs title simply an allusion to its namesake, its true nature is revealed only when it’s too late. 

My love for Salma Hayek came from watching 'Frida' at the age of 10, and her portrayal allowed me to fall in love with one of my favourite figures in history. Frida Kahlo's artistry, resseliance and attitude inspires me to this day. Salma Hayek's portrayal of Frida immortalised a piece of her forever. For all the talented and bad ass women out there, this ones for you!

LYRICS :

I’m feeling slightly wasted 

i feel slightly cautious  

with you on my mind

fuck this i see through those eyes 

she’s in the upper echelon 

and you know she’s not very nice

are you in for the ride?

 

she’ll convince you to come back 

and shell prep you for your darkest hours

and you’ll let her cause she 

looks like…

are you ready for the ride?

 

she’s in the upper echelon 

and you know she’s not very nice 

when she looks like Salma Hayek 

nothing to loose 

says she made it mamma

its all smiles for lovers 

 

she’s feeling kinda faint now 

cause she ain’t held a gun in a while 

and she gets real thirsty for “love”

thats what she tells her angels above 

 

put the saddles on

hoist your body up and then just ride

cause she coming for your mind 

(Cause she coming for your mind)

cause she coming for your mind 

(Cause she coming for your mind)

 

she’s in the upper echelon 

and you know she’s not very nice 

when she looks like Salma Hayek 

nothing to loose 

says she made it mamma

its all smiles for lovers 

 

she knows her men are cursed

cause she’s the one who learnt from you 

and baby your the worst 

and somehow I’m immersed in you

 

when she looks like Salma Hayek
