why i love them:

i've known of deee-lite for a very long time, due to my dad's lowkey obsession with groove is in the heart. i only came into their sphere via cowgirl clue, as her music is very much inspired by lady miss kier's exuberant style.

as soon as i watched the groove is in the heart music video, i was hooked. the sixties futurism style, with big wigs & gogo dancing... it was everything i wanted to be and more. i immediately delved into their discography & history!

her activism inspires me as well, and how she makes it sound so hip in her songs, like i had a dream i was falling through a hole in the ozone layer; that title alone sounds dope!
