Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Painted Eyes. By Songfacts®.

This string-drenched stomper was originally commissioned by a couture label and written by H & LA's leader Andrew Butler as a devotional song for Coco Chanel.

The song features the vocals of classically trained singer Aerea Negrot who has been dubbed "the Eartha Kitt of the techno age." Butler told Pitchfork about her: "She's born Venezuelan, lived in Berlin for six years. She's a classically trained singer, but her voice is just ridiculous. It spans numerous octaves, and she evokes some of the classic, classic singers-- female divas from even pre-disco times. Her hero is Yma Sumac. She's a very Latin big-voiced kind of lady, but what she's done for me sounds like I have one of the best, most ferocious disco vocalists from the 70s appearing on a record, which is really f---ing cool. She's a solo artist, as well. She's in the works as well with the label BPitch Control, a Berlin techno label. Her own thing is very experimental, very improvisational, and very performance-oriented."
