Singer-songwriter Miya Folick has announced her new album, Erotica Veronica. Due out February 28 via Nettwerk, the follow-up to last year's Roach was produced by Folick herself alongside Sam KS, and features contributions from Meg Duffy (Hand Habits), Waylon Rector (Dominic Fike, Charli XCX), Greg Uhlmann (Perfume Genius, SML), and Pat Kelly (Perfume Genius, Levi Turner).
Additionally, Folick has shared the video for first official single "Erotica", directed by Antonio Marziale. Watch below:
Of the new single, which is said to exemplify the album's "psychosexual, psychosensual" point of view and themes of "self-realization and integration," Folick has this to say:
"'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. 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."
Of the album overall, she continues:
"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. I don’t think we give each other enough room to explore freely and figure out our own right paths."
Erotica Veronica represents Folick's attempts to craft a straight-ahead indie rock albums, utilizing guitar to write most of the songs. The album also features both previously-shared songs, "Alaska" and "La Da Da", which came out earlier this season.
