Hailing from Idaho, the blossoming recording artist and singer-songwriter Castle KYD reflects on past love and loss in a new, heartfelt single, "Mess You Left Behind." Although Castle KYD doesn't come from a musical background, he always yearned to make an impact with his words. While writing in his apartment out of pure emotion, he kept it a secret, going to opening mics and leaving as quietly as he entered. When a friend found out what he was up to, Castle KYD realized the impression his music left on others and decided to bring it to the masses. Now releasing his fourth and most visceral single to date, "Mess You Left Behind," we get to know a more personal side of Castle KYD as he puts on his approachable performance and sings from the heart and soul. Castle KYD has a certain loving and tender vibe, and we know our readers will deeply appreciate such lyrical and creative honesty.

As he begins to describe the trials and tribulations of a messy relationship, Castle KYD perfectly expresses such turmoil with his gentle, melodic vocals and gut-wrenching lyrics. We hear heavy similarities to the tenderness and dreaminess of Cigarettes After Sex, but Castle KYD has his own unique way of grabbing our hearts with his organically rich vocals and genuine performance. This song is nothing but chilling; Castle KYD carries us to the outro like a sonic daydream, although his melancholy lyricism is pure emotional agony.

From Arizona to Los Angeles, singer-songwriter and r&b recording artist Junovxrse takes us through a mystical journey into her sweet-sounding universe with a lush new single, "Down." We've known Junovxrse to be that soft and gentle voice we look to when in need of some tender serenading. She embodies a certain vibe that's equally as honest as it is refreshing, and Junovxrse will stop at nothing until her emotional and relatable messages are heard. Junovxrse recently released one of the most soothing and heartfelt songs we've heard to date, entitled "Down." In the single, listeners can hear a more intimate, vulnerable, and personal side of Junovxrse while she wears her heart on her sleeve and reminds us that all we really have in life is ourselves. Entering the desirous and emotional single, "Down," the song softly begins with a gentle and sweet acoustic guitar sample alongside a fluttery and angelic background vocal that sets the song's intimate and heartfelt tone. As Junovxrse grooves her way in with the utmost poise and passion, she begins to expand on needing nothing from nobody but herself. This song is incredibly vulnerable, it's like a page ripped out of Junovxrse's diary, and we couldn't be more appreciative of such a relatable song that speaks of turbulent love and post-breakup thoughts. Before we know it, an uncredited male vocal begins to spill passionate bars that remind us of the stylings of the Toronto r&b sensation Partynextdoor. As both artists serenade us until the outro, we're left with nothing but our thoughts after experiencing such an honest and introspective single like this. We know you're "Down" to hear Junovxrse's new single. Share the love and stream it on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Junovxrse. We truly appreciate the genuineness and honesty within your latest single, "Down." What sort of experiences inspired you to write such a vulnerable song? Wow, thank you all for having me again. Down was actually written in Los Angeles last year during the pandemic. At that time life was so different for a lot of us dealing with this new way of covid. A lot of artists were having a hard time finding shows, making money, doing what they love. During that time moving back to LA was still fresh. I didn't have a lot of friends and I had just gone through a breakup, I felt like I was essentially starting over. It was me and the music. The song is based on a true conversation I had with an ex-friend of mine. I wanted to know if he’d be down for me? This means If I didn’t have certain attributes about myself/things that I couldn’t offer anymore, Would he still be in my life? I think we all want to know that we are surrounded by genuine people and love and that's something that I look for in my circle and gravitate towards when I'm creating music. I also talk about how music and being an artist aren't always fun. We definitely have our fair share of moments and being in an industry surrounded by different energies and people you always want to know that they have your best interest. During your songwriting process for "Down," what thoughts and emotions were going through your mind? What was the one message you wanted to get across? When I wrote it down I was feeling very clear-minded. I wanted this song to be a different side of me that I haven’t shown before. My 9-5 single was very upbeat and Jazzy. Down is definitely more on the R&B slow jam side of things. I got the beat inspiration from Jhene Aiko actually. Down is a song about knowing your worth and not being afraid to be vulnerable. I wanted my listeners to know that love should be unconditional and not based on what someone can provide you with. It was me questioning my self-love and the authenticity of a relationship I was dealing with. I want my listeners to hear the raw honesty. We're going to lose people and go through certain battles. But the biggest relationship we can have is with ourselves and I think it's important to always know and feel that. So I'm hoping people can really vibe with the message when they listen to Down. Who was the featured artist in "Down"? Why did you want to add a passionate verse from a male rapper in this emotional piece? The featured artist on the EP’s name is EJ the star Seed. He’s originally from St. Louis Missouri and was raised in phoenix. Definitely check out his music and visuals. He's truly talented. You can find EJ on all platforms. Actually, EJ wasn’t on the original take of the song. I was just going to do the whole song by myself. But I think life is all about timing and EJ and I happened to be in the same city. He came down from AZ to LA and we linked in the studio and it was very natural. He actually went in and freestyled a verse and decided to come back out and write and revise his original version. I think he added something to the song I didn’t even know I needed and I don't think people were really expecting a collaboration. But I think it came out completely dope and fluent and I'm so grateful for the magic we created. Shoutout to you EJ! Much love. You will hopefully see a visual for Down in the near future but that is currently still in the works. However, you can expect to hear more of us together in 2022... So that’s going to be really exciting! Could you expand on what you want to represent and stand for as an artist? How does your music reflect who you are and what you want the public to know? As I grow as an artist I feel like I'm constantly changing. I want my listeners to know that it's okay to be yourselves and to never stop peeling back your layers in this life because we only get the chance to learn ourselves once. Don't ever be stagnant and most importantly love yourself and know your worth. In 2022 I really hope to give my listeners more versatility and transparency. I'm finally coming into my sound and collaborating with artists that I never thought I would do music with. Mixing sounds and playing around with my voice. So it's really exciting to see me growing and walking in my purpose. It's so wild to see the end of the year Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms' end of the year stats. I’ve had over 1K streams since these two songs came out and I feel so humbled. Being a new artist I'm manifesting so much for myself musically and I cannot wait for you all to hear the EP and see the work that I've been putting in. Next year I'm going to take you all into my universe. Junovxrse the EP. So you all will just have to stay tuned! Thank you again, BuzzMusic. instagram.com/junovxrse

Feel the "Hard Hits" of TT17's passionate and emotional new single, now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome back to BuzzMusic, TT17. Once again, we adore the emotion and vulnerability within your bars in "Hard Hits." What inspired you to create this powerful and introspective single? I appreciate you guys inviting me back for another interview! Honestly, 'Hard Hits' is a song about a girl that played me in July. I and her were in the heavy talking stages, and then, she ghosted me and unfollowed me on Instagram. She told me a couple of weeks later that she had a new guy she was talking to, and that she was "practicing" with me. That hit me very hard, hence the name 'Hard Hits'. I deleted her number and blocked off all contact with her, except to personally text her the link to the song when it dropped (I got a nasty text back) . As for what personally inspired me to write the song? I was literally in line at the bank and she sent me a long text, but I didn't have her number saved. That inspired the first 2 lines of the chorus, and I just free-wrote from there. What was your songwriting process like for "Hard Hits"? Did you face any personal challenges when opening up and wearing your heart on your sleeve? Even though it doesn't seem like it is based on the lyrics, I was so, so, so furious writing 'Hard Hits'. I can't lie, I wanted her so bad, and it sucked that she chose someone else over me. I hated the line I wrote, "She got a new man, I hope he treats her well.", just because of how much rage the thought of them together brought me. The biggest personal challenge I faced was explaining the story over and over again to anyone who asked because most of the people involved in my life know this girl, so it was hard to keep repeating a story that I wished had a different ending. When creating "Hard Hits," did you have any artistic influences or projects in mind that inspired the feel and tone of this song? Honestly, no. I feel like this song is one of a kind, there isn't really anything else like it that I have dropped. Even my producer, Mike Lazano, was shocked when I was recording it. I remember he said something like "This isn't your normal type of song, but this is going places!". As of right now, it is my #1 song on Spotify, even ahead of '7 Years' , which has 113,000 streams and counting. How would you describe your sound to new listeners? Where do you think your music fits on the genre spectrum? I would describe my sound as one of a kind and underrated. I always ask people "Who do you think my music sounds like?", and I always get a mix between NF, The Kid LAROI, Juice WRLD, and Logic. It's never one more than the other, though. I'm one of one. I don't think my music is like any of those great artists, though. I think my music is like TT17. I'm one of one! What's next for you? I just announced my third album, 'Wake Me Up In Calabasas' to release on February 4, 2022, with a total of 19 songs! As for me, personally, I'm auditioning for 'America's Got Talent on January 9, 2022. I'm patiently waiting for my come-up, and it's going to happen sooner rather than later, so you better grab some popcorn and get ready to watch this movie of my life. instagram.com/thegreattt17

The Scottish-born, Disney-published, and Ontario-based singer-songwriter Lyle Oliver release his soulful country-rock debut single entitled "Hold On." The Thornbury-hailing country-rock artist released three collaborative singles with Mladen Alexander: Sleeve, This Means War, and Stars and Stripes. His most recent single, "Hold On," is his big solo debut into the music industry, and we're welcoming his storytelling and colorful stylings with open arms. Expanding on Lyle Oliver's debut single, "Hold On," the singer-songwriter mentioned the single is about a young 'it' couple pretending to have it all. When they separate and leave for college, the man realizes that they did, in fact, have it all. We adore the uplifting and passionate sound, and we're sure our readers will too. Listening to "Hold On," the tune kicks into gear with an uplifting and bright country-rock instrumental that sets the song's passionate and soothing tone.

We adore the honest and relatable story Lyle Oliver brings to the single; he takes us through several milestone ages and the emotions we feel when navigating our way through our first serious relationships. Lyle Oliver's performance is nothing but captivating; he has such a way with words, and his charismatic delivery keeps our attention hooked until the soul-southing outro. Hang tight and "Hold On" with Lyle Oliver's passionate debut single, now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Lyle Oliver. Congratulations on releasing your heartfelt and conceptual debut single, "Hold On." What inspired you to write about the story of young love? Relationships, in general, are not always as perfect as they may seem to the outside eye. “Hold On” takes this concept and uses artistic license to create an extreme version of this where a young “it” couple portrays an ideal relationship to the outside world but in actuality have a relationship filled with what appears to be problems. Later the guy realizes the problems were not as big as they seemed and that they actually had a good thing and he wishes he had held on as he really loved the girl. Is it easy for you to paint such detailed images through your songwriting? How did you bring your ideas to life during your songwriting process for "Hold On"? To me, songwriting is a gift. I try to paint a picture and tell a story in all of my songs. Something a listener can relate to. Lyrics are extremely important to me and make up a large part of my songs. Once the initial “spark” of the idea of the “it “ couple hiding flaws comes to life I try to write lyrics that embellish the concept. I firmly believe you know a good song if it sounds good with a vocal and acoustic guitar. So all my songs are written this way. I try to write meaningful and memorable radio-friendly songs with hooks. Hopefully the chorus for “Hold On” is really catchy. Did you work with any other musicians and producers when creating "Hold On"? What was that creative process like? A friend of mine introduced me to Jon Zaslow and I got Jon to produce the track. In conversations with Jon, I expressed the desire to create my own sound. Different from my 3 previous collaborative releases. Also, it was my desire to have a more traditional country sound. There is a tendency for a lot of the new country songs to sound similar in my opinion and I didn’t want that. I think we achieved that with the production. Pedal Steel was something I wanted in the song. Jon knew an amazing pedal steel player Dale Rivard and he nailed it. He is the Dr. Of STEEL! Jon also hooked me up with Terry Martell who did a great job with the drums. I mastered the track at Silverbirch studios a great mastering studio run by Andy Krehm. Why did you want to release "Hold On" as your debut and solo introduction to the music industry? How does this song represent you and what you want to create? I had decided to do some solo releases earlier in the year and wanted to create my own identity from my duo work. I also wanted to develop as a writer and expand my creative process. I believe I accomplished this with Hold On. I want to write a wide variety of material and don’t want to be locked into a specific sound. Hold On is a classic country-rock song to me. My next song could be an acoustic release. Wanna go where the creative process takes me. I have been writing a lot and have more than an entire album of material that will be released in the future. Not all my material will be clones of Hold On. I think Hold On is a good representation of me as a writer in that it has strong lyrics and a catchy sing-along chorus. What's next for you? I intend to keep writing and release more songs in 2022. With Covid, it’s hard to get out but I’m hoping if I keep writing quality songs that the songs will speak to people. That’s what I want as a songwriter. instagram.com/bluemt.entertainment

One of these shining music producers/DJs is Marymoon who is rising above gradually. She has given some prominent winning performances in the past for some of which she received awards. Marymoon received her graduation degree from Sotheby’s Institute of Arts in London. After completing her studies, she began chasing her passion for electronic music, digital visual arts, and painting. She took every opportunity to participate in any activity regarding her passions to show the world her skills and assert herself. “My passion for art has been there since I was little. I was always drawn to painting. Music was a part of my life like any other kid growing up. In the background, I went through various phases, but painting always remained my strongest passion. I guess that’s how I ended up in Sobethys.” In the field of digital visual arts, Marymoon organized various multimedia exhibitions in cities like St. Petersburg, New York, and London. She performed in the famous art exhibition Venice Biennale as a visual artist. Participating in such huge activities eventually took her to a Hollywood studio full of hardware drum machines and modular synthesizers which lead her to fulfill her other passion; electronic music producing. The studio offered a golden opportunity for her to improve and channel her energetic creativeness into her signature sound. While working in the studio, Marymoon launched her debut EP by working with one of the most popular Russian electronic music labels of the time Human Resources Label. This opened her way to play in a lot of prominent DJ sets at recognizable electronic dance music platforms such as Burning Man and Space Ibiza where she also received awards for her debut Live PA performances. Marymoon’s winning journey began from there. After that, she got a lot of offers regarding her electronic music production. Recently she has been awarded for her appearances at Secret Garden Party, Cova Santa, and a few others. All the tracks of her recent album Nalu are composed differently from each other giving a specific enjoyable flow of beats. Using her intimidating music skills, Marymoon designed each track considering particular ideas for example the track ‘For love and lemons’ regarding its name composed of Liquicity beats. “Sound-wise I always try to stay true to the elements I like using, which I hope to create a journey charged with a lot of emotions, and the story behind each track.” Just like this, the song in the album Okean is a Russian word that means Ocean. She named it after her son. Marymoon shared in an interview that she composed this track when she was pregnant with her son Ocean. “….I was making this one while I was still pregnant with him, and I picked this one exploring the emotions of what I imagined at the time I would feel like when he was born. However, nothing prepares you for the reality of what you feel when your first baby is actually born.” Marymoon didn’t share much about her next project however she is planning a USA tour. She is going to visit cities such as Miami, New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Soundcloud Facebook Instagram

Christian Martinez, also known as Galactico, is an educator and poet born in Uruapan, Michoacan, Mexico. Migrating to Oakland, California, in 1999 with his family to pursue a better future, growing up in East Oakland profoundly influenced his desire to elevate in the community. Upon witnessing and experiencing the social and educational inequities firsthand and wanting to contribute to leveling the playing field for communities of color, Galactico developed a passion for music, recording, and producing, all while fostering a drive to succeed. Returning with his seemingly eclectic flair for navigating through verses in a breezy manner, Galactico provides us with his latest single, "Michoacano." Laying down hard-hitting vocals that leave an impact on our mind, there's a protruding sense of confidence that comes sliding off of the lyrical finessed Galactico conveys. Using witty quips and extensive wordplay in both Spanish and English to deliver bars that have you running the track back to replay what you just took in, all the signs of an authentic emcee are written in stone. The instrumentation adds a buoyant seasoning to the simmering vibes soaking in your speakers. "Michoacano" is the type of record that you play when looking to get that boost of self-assured poise to carry you through the day and rub off on others. With wording such as 'I got game East Bay. Call me poetic justice. All I need is Janet,' there's no denying the inimitable zest that Galactico sprinkles onto his compositions one record at a time. Leaving us with a custom blend of sonic seasoning, it's rather apparent that Galactico is excelling at his artistry as he spreads his talents to the world before him. Hard at work producing a signature sound custom to her, Toronto-based artist Desarae Dee continues to bring forth her message of originality and acceptance. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Galactico! Congratulations on the release of your latest single, "Michoacano." With such a heavy-hitting delivery, what moment or story inspired this record? The story that inspired this record is my recent journey around love (relationships). Falling in love with vibes, energy but also tried to understand what love looks like for me. A person who came from a different country just trying to survive. Is love even a real option nowadays? What inspires the witty and eclectic lyrics that you bring forth? What came first; rapping in Spanish or English? The inspiration of the witty and eclectic lyrics comes from understanding the duality of growing up in understanding two languages, code-switching between cultures (growing in Michoacan, Mexico, and Oakland, CA and combining them with a hyphy sound (Oakland culture) What message would you like your audience to take away from this song? Do your songs tend to sway to these themes? The message I would like people to take from this song is that you have to fall in love with yourself before diving into a fast relationship that can end up being toxic and hurting other people. Nowadays relationships come and go so fast. At times we tend to seek connection so fast that we ignore the red flags. How does it feel to have your work being so well received by your audience? Did you ever imagine it at this caliber? I honestly started to make music when I was 17 to cope with my anger and anxiety. Eventually, rhymes became so easy for me and now I love creating punchlines that people can relate to. Hearing and seeing people vibe to my music /words is a dream come true. I never thought that I could empower and create change via poetry. I feel like this is not my final form. instagram.com/noxhegalactica

Singer-songwriter, versatile recording artist and violinist Ginny Luke is blazing her way through the industry thanks to the powerhouse and badass music videos like her recent release, "Seductive Cinderella." Ginny Luke's violin skills aren't the only aspect of her music career that's wildly intriguing; her vocals are truly unmatched. Ginny has proved that she's far more than a force to be reckoned with by touring with Meat Loaf at the age of 19 and trotting the globe with icons like Britney Spears, Black Eyed Peas, and The Foo Fighters. When delving into Luke's music, one thing to expect is that you'll be singing her catchy and bold tunes long after listening. Starting a wildfire with her latest beaming, sultry, and fiery new music video, "Seductive Cinderella," viewers can catch Ginny Luke surrounded by candles in a seance-type scenario.

Hitting play on the music video for "Seductive Cinderella," we're met with groovy and haunting pop sonics alongside scenes of Luke surrounded by candles that light her face with a sensual and alluring glow. While she begins singing of taking someone to a faraway yet pleasureful place, we drop into the fiery and anthemic rock hook where Luke transitions into dark and foggy scenes that leave us gazing at her black leather corset. Towards the video's end, we see a brilliant and exhilarating violin solo from Ginny Luke, who surprisingly turned the classic violin sound to resemble that of a distorted and crunchy electric guitar. While fueling our fire one last time on the hook, the video comes to a massive ending where she whips her hair, caresses her legs, and oozes the utmost sexual appeal. We're genuinely thrilled with Ginny Luke's exciting and sultry new music video for "Seductive Cinderella," and we're delighted to bestow it onto our readers. Find the music video for "Seductive Cinderella" on YouTube. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Ginny Luke. We're truly getting down with the energy and power of your recent single and music video for "Seductive Cinderella." What inspired you to create such a sultry and empowering single like this? Hi BuzzMusic, thank you! In writing "Seductive Cinderella", I was first describing how I tend to get revved up at midnight, which is another side of myself and a specific kind of energy that I use to command a stage. It's a feminine energy that pulls the listener in and then shocks them with something they have never experienced. The lyrics and musical style is expressive of my 'stage persona', and I ended up formulating these personality traits into the character of this "Seductive Cinderella" in the video. I was inspired by female rock icons with feminine and powerful allure, like Stevie Nicks, Dorothy, and Maria Brink. Why did you choose to head down the ritualistic, witchy, and dark path for the "Seductive Cinderella" music video? As I was writing the song I was researching powerful, femme-fatale Cinderella imagery and was inspired by the Brother's Grimm fairytale of "Cinderella", originally called "Aschenputtel", in which the character Cinderella is secretly a witch. I wanted to present the idea that women can be alluring and still have untapped power and control over their own destiny. I was also inspired by the femme-fatale witch character Angelique Bouchard from Tim Burton's film "Dark Shadows", and the three witches in Shakespeare's Macbeth. (The bridge lyrics are "Toil and trouble/fire and flames / feed the devil Crown Royale and dames" which is just a cheeky take on "Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble" from Macbeth). The 'witch' iconography serves as a feminist symbol of a woman who can't be harnessed by society, has had to self-preserve, makes noise, and is as self-expressive as she wants to be. Who helped you create the music video for "Seductive Cinderella"? What was your experience like on set? I created the video with incredible cinematographers Harrison Sanborn and Austin Atencio, and makeup by Liz Lorenzo, hair by Sal Lorenzo. I shot one day on the beach with Austin (referencing the "Dark Shadows" look) and 1 day shooting all the witch imagery with Harrison directing, and it was one of the smoothest and most fun shoots I've ever done. I've probably done 10 music videos of my own work and 50 playing violin/singing for other artists, so it was a big priority to have FUN while shooting and stay creative, spontaneous, and open to ideas. I tried different takes being super understated and mysterious, then some take super over the top and rock n roll. I think the slow-motion action shadow shots were the perfect contrast to the up-close witchy-spell shots to give the viewer a multi-dimensional experience. What do you hope the watcher takes away from your music video for "Seductive Cinderella"? What impact do you want the video to have on your audience? To let women be women, people be people, and be allowed to express themselves however they want; and as always in my music, to not confine the idea of the violin as a polite, soft instrument. I'm always trying to push the boundaries with what a violin 'represents' since so much of my life it represented keeping my mouth shut and being agreeable and sweet - now I use it as a tool of passion, aggression, and all these other colors too. What's next for you? I am currently recording a rock opera/concept album with producers Dave Darling and Kirk Pasich of record label Blue Elan/KZZ Music & Productions, as well as an album for the Alliance for Children's Rights. I will begin pre-production on my next record in January. I just wrapped a 5 city tour for Glenfiddich's launch of their new product Grand Couronne, performing with DJ Ruckus and Lauren Baba, and we may have some more shows in 2022. I have a sample pack of my electric violin & vocals coming out in January through LANDR.com as well! Super stoked about it - it's all of my unique violin effects and vocal stylings that are very "Ginny". And as always, taking time to enjoy life and feed my inner rock child. facebook.com/ginnylukemusic twitter.com/ginnyluke instagram.com/ginnyluke

Making waves in the alternative-pop music scene is none other than singer-songwriter and recording artist Emile Hirsch, who recently released his passionate single and music video entitled "My Favorite Motive." The new release marks Emile Hirsch's 33rd single to date, and he's more than ready to keep the momentum going. You might have heard Emile Hirsch's emotional and compelling stylings through various Spotify playlists like License to Chill, Alt Good, and Alt Beats. Now releasing his latest single and music video for "My Favorite Motive," the new release is the lead single off his forthcoming third studio album. The song is jam-packed with all sorts of reminiscent emotions and nostalgia, and the music video directed by Michael Polish is an equally poignant ride. Expanding on the single, "My Favorite Motive," the tune begins with a spacey alternative keyboard melody, haunting synths, and a heavy bass-like synth. As Emile Hirsch drenches us in his passionate, emotional, and melodic vocals, he begins to touch on the trials and tribulations of turbulent love. Making his way over to the hook, a lighthearted keyboard melody begins to shine through while Emile Hirsch continues to sing of his broken, fragile heart. Peaking at the music video for the single, the scene opens with an innocent and nostalgic game of pong over top of Emile Hirsch's distorted black and white image that begins to sing of love's emotional weight. We see several nods to classic trailblazing video games throughout the music video while Hirsch dramatically belts his emotions regarding lost and broken love. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Emile Hirsch. We adore the passion and raw emotion within your latest single, "My Favorite Motive." What inspired the song's heartfelt lyrical concept? My Favorite Motive was inspired by past experiences I've had, like most of my songs. Past relationships, sadness, heartbreak- the emotions that everyone deals with in their ways, no matter what they are. Sometimes, I find the simplest lyrics are the most effective with songs, and this song is, in a way, kind of straightforward. The idea of relapsing in love is sort of the theme. The fear of what could happen if you open your heart again, but also the longing for that. I'm constantly trying to push myself lyrically with every song we do, going deeper and further than I have before. Not settling necessarily with a first-line, but refining and rewriting the lyrics until they feel absolutely in their right place. Sometimes you have to be careful writing such personal songs since, of course, you don't want to be too specific to where they make the song inaccessible to the listener- I want it to be specific enough to where people feel the truth of but also can apply it to their own experiences, which are much more relevant to them than my own. In a way, it is using your own experience to help illuminate people's own ones. Was it challenging to open your heart and mind when writing your lyrics for "My Favorite Motive"? Or does your songwriting process usually flow with ease? The video was directed by Michael Polish, who wanted to get something layered and complex the back and forth game of a relationship, the back and forth like pong can be. In dealing with a past relationship too, the nostalgic elements feel appropriate because they immediately connect people to a past era. Why did you choose to go for such a nostalgic and video game-like visual for the "My Favorite Motive" music video? I wish I could say I had a master plan for the music Hirsch makes. But we don't. We don't make any money or anything like that from it, certainly. We do it, mostly in the Frenchman's basement, because we love making songs. So we keep making them. We're on our third album now and don't really seem inclined to stop or slow down. We like the process, the expression, and if we're lucky enough to have a few people dig our tracks, we're more than happy. How does "My Favorite Motive" fit into the concept and theme of your forthcoming third studio album? Why did you choose to release this song as the first single? We chose to release this song as a single because we felt it was heartfelt in a way that a lot of our singles haven't been, they've been more energetic- like Favors, or Waterproof. This had a weight to it, but also we thought of catchy hooks and melodies that could support its merit as a single. instagram.com/emilehirsch
