Dear Poptastic Readers,
You may remember last month we wrote about the legendary Marcella Detroit celebrating an incredible 50 years in the music business. Marcella has marked this tremendous achievement with the release of her latest single “Vicious Bitch” (Due to social media not liking the B-word, it is sometimes listed as “Vicious.”) on her birthday, June 21st — a belated happy birthday to Marcy from all at Poptastic Confessions!
“Beautiful in her summer dress, but sometimes she’s just a vicious bitch!” Marcella snarls on this tongue-in-cheek number. You might be wondering – who is this song written about? As Marcella explains, “It’s not actually about anyone, it’s about `Mother Nature’ and how wonderful she can be giving us so much beauty and then she’ll throw in a pandemic or a super storm to keep us on our toes.”
For the Shakespears Sister fans out there, “Vicious Bitch” even has a throwback to the “Goodbye Cruel World” music video – as Marcella exclaims “You know, you wouldn’t be able to do these things to me if I wasn’t such a feeble machine” (of course, the opening of the “Goodbye Cruel World” video was itself a pastiche of the movie Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?). Here is the music video …

“Vicious Bitch” was written by Marcella and Lance Aston (her husband), who also produced the track. It is available to download on digital outlets everywhere, including Marcella’s new website www.marcelladetroit.rocks. Marcella is adding new musical content to her website every Friday, so be sure to check it out and stay up-to-date on her social media accounts. We've added the song to
“Vicious Bitch” has also been given the deluxe remix treatment for this single release. No less than 11 fabulous dance mixes are featured, from the likes of OKJames, Joe Gillan and Larry Peace. You can also hear the mixes here …
In even more exciting news, a brand new album Gold is planned for release in September and we can’t wait to hear it!
Cheers then,
