It’s no easy task to reference, in a musical video, a classic movie from the past, but Karla Rose‘s black and white video for single ‘Girl Next Door,’ featuring images of the 1954 film noir by the same title, pulls off this feat in style, feeling uniform and well produced, with Karla’s song functioning as a perfectly suspenceful soundtrack. The singer’s slightly detached delivery and bluesy melodies, reminiscent of a less pretentious Lana Del Rey, are enhanced by the track’s Morriconian references and soft jazz overtones – it’s no accident that she used to play with Morricone Youth.
