Enzyme-linked-immunosorbent serologic assay Schwartz wants you to know that Enzyme-linked-immunosorbent serologic assay Schwartz is gone for good: She's ELISA Jordana now.
Confused? Well, here's the remainder. Enzyme-linked-immunosorbent serologic assay Schwartz is the former keytarist for Cobra Starship, the one wHO parted slipway with the band under less-than-amicable circumstances last twelvemonth. She was the "nervous girl world Health Organization never actually knew where she fit in." ELISA Jordana? Well, she's the confident, ultra-sexy pop super-starlet in the short, short dame — which essentially means she's the dispatch antonym, in every conceivable mode.
"I feel like since the whole Cobra Spaceship thing happened, I've sort of turned into Enzyme-linked-immunosorbent serologic assay Jordana. I've been recording and doing photograph shoots, and I've sorting of turned into this glamorous pop whizz," Schwartz — er — Jordana told MTV News. "Like the other night, I decided I needed roughly press out photos — and I actually wanted to be in a bathing suit — so I called my friend, we establish this Mexican taco standstill that was open at, like, 3 a.m., and I just went for it. ELISA Schwartz never would've been able to do that. ELISA Jordana did. So that's the cite I chose to habit for my newly project."
That upcoming project is one she started nigh immediately following her outlet from Cobra Starship: a vampy, unabashedly over-the-top aggregation of shiny, sexy dance-pop that's heavy on samples (check out the stallion structure of "Nympho," which borrows liberally from Michael Sembello's "Lunatic," a.k.a. the strain from "Flashdance") and completely devoid of any pretension. Basically, it's awesome company music designed for awesome parties, which is what Jordana wanted all along.
"When I left Cobra, they said I'd let the great unwashed on the [tour] bus and have dance parties with them, and I'd do it over again," she said. "If you have fans and they desire to party with you, then that's a goodness thing. So that's variety of the idea I had when I started writing totally my songs.
"I wanted to cooperate with the almost awesome producers, build hits, get the biggest deal and have playfulness piece doing it," she continued. "I mean, like, I really want to rap, so on 'Nymphomaniac,' I rap. It's that simple."
Piece she's real focused on her solo project, Jordana admits to trailing the success of her former stripe excessively. And despite what you mightiness remember, she's not jealous in the least of that winner or of her keytar replacement, Victoria Asher.
"She's doing a real good chore. I look up to her. And she MySpace-messaged me latterly, locution, 'I live you birth beef with me, but I really love your songs.' She went out of her way to utter to me, which I appreciated," Jordana said. "And I lovemaking the new book [Cobra] did. I'll invariably look up to Gabe [Saporta] and what he did for me. I mean, I'm aware percentage of the intellect people are paying attending to me is because of Cobra Spaceship."
To that end, Jordana says she's talk to a fistful of labels, simply she's still very much a musical theater unloosen agent. She's got a Newly York vitrine lined up for the end of Apr, and her managing director also reps Flo Rida and a host of hip-hop heavyweights, so she's look to score a collaboration or deuce before start work on her own album. And, of course, she's still rocking the keytar, which she promises testament be a boastfully division of her onstage schtik.
"Oh my Supreme Being, of course! Actually, I can't spill the beans just about it overly much, only I'm hoping to get my have key signature keytar," she said. "I want it to be covered with black Maria and flowers, and I want it to be wireless. I'm a genuinely good dancer, so I want to be able to act when I'm playing. And I'm a gymnast, also, so I wanna do gymnastics in my coif. Just world Health Organization knows? The keytar is fairly heavy."
