Mallrat, the project of Australian musician Grace Shaw, has released a single called ‘Hocus Pocus’. The track, which follows August’s ‘Ray of Light’, was produced by Styalz Fuego (Troye Sivan, Tate McRae) and Kito (Skrillex, FLETCHER). Check it out below.
“I fell over and fractured my arm dancing to this demo on a walk home,” Shaw said in a statement. “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.”
