Mallrat returns with her second single of 2024 ‘Hocus Pocus’. The song follows her earlier release ‘Ray Of Light’.
New single ‘Hocus Pocus’ is produced by Styalz Fuego (Troye Sivan) and Kito and is a club-ready track blending spacey broken beats with a Memphis rap sample from DJ Zirk’s Born2 Lose. ‘Hocus Pocus’ delivers a playful tune with breathy vocals against a hypnotic mix of electronic pop. Be sure to watch the cosmic music video directed by Tom Carroll below.
Reflecting on the track Mallrat mentions:
“I fell over and fractured my arm dancing to this demo on a walk home,” Shaw said. “I couldn’t help but be excited! I had to wear a cast and sling. When I was writing the pre-chorus section of this song I was thinking of the sharp inhale breaths as lyrics that needed their own moment, kind of like a punchline. A lot of the time in pop music, breaths are edited out and turned down, but they felt important here to me.”
‘Hocus Pocus‘ is out now on all platforms.
