Opening with a jazzy beat and fast paced piano chords, Noah Pearce’s latest release “Ballet Dancer” talks about how even though the relationship is over, Pearce felt that he and his ex perfectly complemented each other. He compares them to how music is to a ballet dancer, how one isn’t found without the other. He laces dance terms throughout his lyrics to connect back to the title and describe the grace of the relationship, like when he sings, ‘You’re pirouetting ‘round my heart / tiptoeing, glowing in the dark / You move your body like a star / You’re my ballet dancer’. Each word of Pearce’s lyrics is completely intentional, showing how much he cares about his music and exhibiting his attention to detail.
Despite the title and mention of ballet giving a connotation of peaceful and slow moving, Pearce’s single is anything but. The song wastes no time on an intro and a fast beat sweeps quickly into the story that allows the audience to envision what Pearce sees: a graceful dancer that ties into his lyrics and moves rapidly with the soundscape. The lyrics are wistful and longing, but still couple with the brisk and pop beat of the background instruments. The cover art features a vintage picture of a ballet dancer lifted by her partner in front of a beautiful beach background.
