Fashion Club, the latest subject of our Artist Spotlight series, has teamed up with Jay Som’s Melina Duterte for the new song ‘Ghost’. It arrives ahead of the release of her sophomore album A Love You Cannot Shake on Friday, following ‘Confusion’, the Perfume Genius-assisted ‘Forget’, and ‘Rotten Mind’ featuring Julie Byrne. Check it out below.
In a statement, Pascal Stevenson explained: “This song is me talking to my younger and older selves in those moments and being like, ‘It doesn’t matter. There’s no wasted time.’ Nothing positive is going to come from viewing it like that, and everything has turned out fine and will be fine. It’s kind of an anxiety song as well about how I build things up in my mind to the point where I’m like, ‘I can’t do it.’ Then I do it, and I’m like, ‘Okay, well that was easy.'”
Duterte added: “I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of the new Fashion Club record, I’m a fan of Pascal’s songwriting/production and her ability to weave textures in sounds. We spent an afternoon just hanging and talking about music and eventually finishing what is now my favorite song on her album. :-)”
