Album review
Miya Folick has announced a new album called Erotica Veronica. The follow-up 2023’s Roach comes out February 28 via Nettwerk. To mark the announcement, the singer-songwriter has shared the opener ‘Erotica’, which follows earlier cuts ‘La Da Da’ and ‘Alaska’. Check it out below and scroll down for the cover art and tracklist.
“‘Erotica’ is a song about fantasy and pleasure – it’s not just about sex, it’s about a richness of experience, a playfulness, a connection, an open approach to each day,” Folick said in a statement. “I think that we’re fed rules about what an appropriate fantasy looks like, especially when you’re coupled. Our culture is so puritanical in that way. But I think that it’s important for me to retain my autonomy of thought, and truthfully sharing my fantasies is an act of tenderness and intimacy.”
Erotica Veronica features contributions from Sam KS as co-producer and drummer, Meg Duffy, Waylon Rector, and Greg Uhlmann on guitar, and Pat Kelly on bass. “The album is about being queer within a heteronormative relationship structure and within a heteronormative society, but it’s also just about desire and eroticism in general,” Folick explained. “I don’t think we give each other enough room to explore freely and figure out our own right paths.”
