Glitzy Von Jagger’s debut single, "Sharp Dressed Them", is a dazzling reimagination of ZZ Top’s classic hit, brimming with bold energy, infectious grooves, and unapologetic authenticity. Infusing the old-school swagger of the original with house beats and nu-disco flair, Glitzy transforms this rock anthem into a dancefloor-ready celebration of gender fluidity and self-expression.
Reclaiming Power Through Music
The concept behind "Sharp Dressed Them" is as impactful as the track itself. By viewing ZZ Top’s hyper-masculine original through a queer lens, Glitzy reclaims the narrative, making it both inclusive and personal. The shift in pronouns and lyrical perspective doesn’t just modernize the song—it reinvents it, turning a rock classic into a queer anthem.
The driving beats and shimmering production accentuate Glitzy’s powerful vocals, while the drop at 0:46 guarantees an electrifying moment for party playlists, workout mixes, and high-energy summer soundtracks.
A Nod of Approval from Legends and Icons
Getting the green light from ZZ Top to reinterpret their song was a milestone for Glitzy. Adding to the excitement, praise from Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters—a clear influence on Glitzy’s glam-pop-meets-disco vibe—further cemented the track’s impact.

An Anthem for the Glitterati
