Got a Girl - La La La (2014) Genre: Electronic, Pop Style: Downtempo A collaboration between Dan Nakamura and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. The two originally got together during filming Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, a 2010 movie that featured Winstead as titular character’s femme fatale called Ramona Flowers, while Nakamura provided several songs to the movie’s soundtrack. Later on Winstead contributed vocals to two songs on Deltron 3030’s 2013 album Event II. Simultaneously, she started hanging in Nakamura’s studio, where the two started recording songs that would be eventually released under moniker Got A Girl. Building heavily on the pair’s mutual love of 60’ french pop music, music of Got A Girl marries chanson, lounge music and trip-hop into unique blend crowned with Winstead’s sultry vocals. Lyrically their songs deal with romance but with a post-modern twist to that, as professed in Hope Larson-directed video to the song Did We Live To Fast. The song premiered on June 3, 2014, end of July saw the release of Got A Girl’s debut album I Love You But I Must Drive Off This Cliff Now.
