MOTHICA has released The Reaper which is the latest track to be taken from her forthcoming visual album KISSING DEATH, which tells an immersive story across the tracks and their accompanying music videos.
“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,” says MOTHICA. “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.”
KISSING DEATH is due for release on 23rd August 2024 via MOTHICA‘s own imprint Heavy Heart Records (Partnering with Rise Records), available to pre-order HERE.
