MOTHICA has shared another taste of her upcoming visual album ‘KISSING DEATH’ in the form of synthwave influenced love song ‘The Reaper’.
Coming shortly after the release of the wickedly dark ‘Red’, the new track follows the soaring ‘Doomed’, and the album’s brooding single ‘Curiosity Killed The Moth’.
Released alongside another brilliantly shot video taking place in a neon-lit club, ‘The Reaper’ forms the next chapter in the story of MOTHICA’s forthcoming visual album, ‘KISSING DEATH’.
Explaining more about ‘The Reaper’ and its accompanying music video, MOTHICA has explained:
“I was listening to a lot of movie soundtracks when I was writing this album, like the synthwave in the movie ‘Drive’. I wanted to write an upbeat love song you could dance to. I rarely write about relationships or love, but this one was a fun twist with the subject being my infatuation with the grim reaper. Lyrically, I try to rationalise that he’s a good guy and it became this more lighthearted song of the record that is unlike anything I’ve ever released.
“I invited dozens of my friends to be in the music video, where I sung the song in 2x speed so you saw this slow motion of a neon-lit club around me, and there’s some humour in there like the grim reaper teaching me how to play pool or my friend dancing on his scythe like its a pole.”
Have a listen to the new track via the music video below.
‘KISSING DEATH’ is set to arrive on August 23 via the singer-songwriter’s own Heavy Heart Records imprint, partnering with Rise Records.
That gives you plenty of time to get stuck into the new songs before she heads out on tour across the UK and EU.
