Energy Whores newest single, “Pretty Sparkly Things”, lands like a dance beat with impact. At first, it feels like a head-bopping, floor-shaking club track: pulsing synths, sharp beats, and hypnotic vocals that instantly pull you in. But once the lyrics settle, it becomes clear this isn’t just a party anthem. The band takes aim at the emptiness of luxury and celebrity culture, calling out influencers, spoiled elites, and the shallow illusion of glamour. Beneath the sparkling surface, something darker emerges and the band isn’t afraid to expose it.
Lead vocalist Carrie Schoenfeld has described the track as satire with a serious edge, a reflection on a society that seduces us with unreachable dreams while real struggles are ignored. Lines like “Can’t pay your bills, can’t afford your pills… They’re only for the kings of pop” strike with raw honesty and sharp precision. Yet the song never feels heavy-handed. The contrast between glittering, high-energy production and biting social critique is exactly what makes it so powerful. Energy Whores prove they can balance fearless commentary with a beat you can dance to a rare and striking combination in today’s pop-driven world.
“Pretty Sparkly Things” also points toward the vision of the band’s upcoming album ‘Arsenal of Democracy’. Here, electronic music collides with folk storytelling and art-rock, all woven with politically charged themes. Known for tackling greed, corruption, and consumerism, the band continues to push boundaries both sonically and lyrically. With this single, they’ve created something bold, electrifying, and impossible to ignore. It’s the kind of track you’ll want on repeat, not just for its energy but for the truths it refuses to hide.
