Trophy Wife (Your Body Won't Lie) 05:18
lyrics
White picket fence Trips to the mall A set of rings To say it all Glowing TV Lights up the night You’re safe and sound You never fight And you’ve got Your trophy wife And you’ve got A picture-perfect life All you want Is peace of mind But that you can’t have Cuz your body won’t lie A wall of smiles Carefully cropped A figurine Forever stopped The needle deep Within a groove You try to dance You cannot move Cuz you’ve got Your trophy wife And you’ve got A picture-perfect life You believe In compromise You can’t look in her eyes Cuz your body won’t lie Your body won’t lie No your body won’t lie It’s not what you say It’s how you sigh Notice the way You are skin to skin Notice the way You never let her in Cuz you’ve got Your trophy wife And you’ve got A picture perfect life All you want Is peace of mind But that you can’t have Cuz your body won’t lie No your body won’t lie Your body won’t lie Life is so full Life is so fine We are like stars Almost divine

Comme un trophée 05:18
lyrics
Comme un trophée prend la lumière et fait briller qui est derrière Elle est parfaite à tes côtés Elle te va bien et tu le sais Alors si, y’a rien de mieux Alors si, t’as tout ce que tu veux Pourquoi la paix te fait défaut Je sais, ça semblait parfait, mais quelque chose sonne faux Comme un trophée prend la poussière Avec le temps l’éclat se perd À regarder la même vue À la beauté, on s’habitue Et même si, y’a rien de mieux et même si, t’as tout ce que tu veux Tu ne vois plus que les défauts, L’idée t’avait plu mais quelque chose sonne faux Quelque chose sonne faux Oui quelque chose sonne faux Ce n’est pas dans tes mots mais dans tes silences et puis dans la distance, Ta façon d’être loin Même quand son corps se perd, se love contre le tien Car, même si, y’a rien de mieux Oui, même si, t’as tout ce que tu veux Toujours, la paix te fait défaut Je sais, ça semblait parfait, mais quelque chose sonne faux Oui quelque chose sonne faux Quelque chose sonne faux Comme un trophée sait rendre fier Comme les étoiles sont éphémères...

SUZANNE NUTTALL's song "Trophy Wife (Your Body Won't Lie)" was masterfully produced by Michael Philip Wojewoda and released in July 2013. It features a nine-piece string section playing an arrangement by Ford Pier. Suzanne spent the next six months "extending the play" by collaborating with various artists and exploring how the same song can have several readings. Each version / remix takes the song in a new direction. The result is TROPHY WIFE EXTENDED PLAY which consists of seven versions of the song... or seven trophy wives!

First, Suzanne worked with singer-songwriter Chloé Lacasse who created a gorgeous French adaptation of the song which she called "Comme un trophée." Suzanne was quite excited to return to the recording studio on November 16th, 2013 with Michael Philip Wojewoda to record her first-ever French vocal. This was meaningful because French is Suzanne's mother tongue.

Gavin Bradley delivered a minimalist piano version recorded on his beloved piano, Heather Kirby created two mirror remixes in English and French which take the listener on an aural journey which highlights the guitar-playing of José Contreras of By Divine Right, Kaelo Gallagher delivered a house remix which Suzanne is hoping will get club-goers dancing and finally Pinelopi Gramatikopoulos (Suzanne's co-writer on the song) and James Bunton produced a haunting remix featuring Amely Zhou on the erhu.

PLEASE NOTE: If you download the album, all tracks will have the above cover art. You will need to download the songs INDIVIDUALLY if you wish to have the custom cover artwork associated with each version/remix.

Suzanne's mirror music videos for TROPHY WIFE and COMME UN TROPHÉE were directed by Levi Sandler and edited by Suzanne herself. Be sure to check them out on YouTube!

In 2011, Suzanne decided to release songs one at a time in the modern digital paradigm.
