Single Review: The Impersonators "Scarlet Hell"
Giving a 60’s feel, this is a classic rock song by the famous Finnish duo, The Impersonators. It is not just the song's indie vibe that make you love it, but the vocals and lyrics stand out, even more, leaving you with a strong message. Finland’s most famous rock and roll duo, Tom Tikka and Antti Autio try to reach out to the people using their music by making this song about anti-prostitution and sex trafficking.
"Scarlet Hell" may sound like a sexy song, but it is not only that. The meaning goes far beyond. The groove and rhythm of the song resonate with a well-coordinated chorus. The song sets out to explain how prostitution and sex trafficking are serious issues and can be dangerous at some point. As in the music video, we can see the protagonist packing up her guy’s clothes, indicating that if you end up with the wrong prostitute, you might even end up in a box...
