“Hocus Pocus” by Mallrat

Embracing her experimental roots, on her new single “Hocus Pocus,” with a Memphis rap sample of DJ Zirk’s “Born2 Lose,” the track, Produced by Styalz Fuego (Troye Sivan) and Kito (Skrillex), the song continues Mallrat’s inquisitive exploration of light amongst human relationships from the solace first found in ‘Ray Of Light’.

Speaking to its making, of “Hocus Pocus” Mallrat shares, “I fell over and fractured my arm dancing to this demo on a walk home. 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.”
