First Single: ‘Rewind To Fade’
The album’s lead single, ‘Rewind To Fade,’ features an 80s-inspired music video reminiscent of the Thompson Twins. Musically, the track evokes the synth-pop era of Gary Numan. Filmed in Hull by Cardiff’s Cine North Studios, the video adds an engaging visual layer to the sonic narrative She’s Got Claws aims to convey.
Creative Process
Each track on the album begins with intricate bass guitar lines, which naturally evolve into vocal melodies, supported by harmonies and synth layers that deepen the emotional resonance of the music. The creation of ‘Stronger Than Faith’ spanned 18 months, with Micci taking the lead on programming, vocals, synths, and engineering, while Chris contributed by co-producing and crafting basslines that inspired Micci’s songwriting.
Track Highlights
The 9-track album opens with ‘Rewind To Fade’ and explores personal themes such as school bullying, family dynamics, and the complex emotional ties we create throughout our lives. For instance, ‘Monsters From The ID’ delves into the exaggerated fears and anxieties that can spiral out of control in our minds. Meanwhile, ‘Lipstick Honey’ is a sensual exploration of unspoken attraction and the desire for mutual acknowledgment of feelings, maintaining the 80s synth-pop aesthetic that could easily be mistaken for a lost gem from that era.
