Do you remember, The Perfect Woman, that British comedy film from the 1940s? No?! That's just me and my odd viewing habits, then! OK, well, Elise Trouw has a new single out with a similar theme, only maybe more of a Frankenstein approach, in which she's talking about taking the best body parts from several female sources to make the ultimate girl. Naturally, the single is called 'The Perfect Girl'.
In truth, the song is a satirical take on how people are judged, more specifically how women are judged by men. The idea for the track was drawn from Elise's schooldays memory of when a group of boys made a “hot or not” list ranking all the girls in class. Elise explains "It was one of the first moments I realized how girls were being seen," she says. "It wasn’t much about who we were. It was about how we looked. That never really left me."
The piece is presented in a highly upbeat and jovial manner with a casual pop feel, but behind that make-up lurks that darker sentiment - innocence masking the reality. Though it has a solid tune, this is another one of those tracks which works best when experienced with the video, as the visuals provide an amusingly surreal feast for the eyes.
'The Perfect Girl' is the second single from Elise's forthcoming concept album 'The Diary of Elon Lust', which is due for release in February 2026 via Midtopia.
