This theme of trying so hard to not try hard is kind of confusing for me to grapple with it's easy to feel lost or almost embarrassed in a sea of DJs or indie rockers with. In the past year or two, the NYC music scene has really exploded, hasn't it? I feel lucky and inspired to be a part of it, and I love that pop is making a comeback. What excites you about making music today? Especially being involved with such a creative and active community here in New York?
So much time has passed since I teased it, I'm surprised people still remembered and made comments like, “I've been waiting for this since the tease,” but the Missfits pay attention and that's why I love them. I’m really happy with the final result: this kind of Janet meets Uffie, sleek and sexy direction. We wrote “Lovesick” around the same time, the same day I think even? And “Shock” felt so different, I wanted to save it to introduce this new era. I was surprised at the reaction and how many people persistently asked me when the “tick tick” song was coming out. I teased an older version of “Shock” on Instagram and Twitter around the time we wrote it, like a year ago with an animated Sims dance clip visual. I think we really achieved that with “Shock ” it feels both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. I learn so much about timelessness with a twist what it means to be classic and modern at the same time how less is usually more, in sound, writing and visuals but also just leaning into what feels right and real. I love working with Chicken, it's so special. What does the collaboration process look like between you and Chicken? How did that play out with “Shock,” specifically?
