British artist, musician and DJ Little Boots (aka Victoria Hesketh) surprised fans on Friday with yet another taste of her forthcoming “BURN” EP. “Picture,” produced by Brooklyn-based DJ, producer and songwriter Lauren Flax, features Victoria’s light and airy vocals over a bed of lush synths and a captivating melody. The song is available to download and stream across all digital platforms HERE. In addition to the song, Little Boots has unveiled a video, available exclusively on Apple Music. Watch itHERE.
Speaking about the new song, Victoria explains, “‘Picture’ is about that moment when you think you’ve moved on from someone, then some algorithm or friend of friend you follow brings up a photo that can instantly drag you back in a heartbeat. It explores our relationship between technology and our powerlessness over the effect it can have on our emotions and mood. I collaborated with Lauren Flax on the track and love the way she built the beat, we sent instrumental parts back and forwards adding piano and strings until the track swells into a really lush hybrid of electronics and organics, all driven by a pulsing house beat and topped off with pop melodies.”
“Picture” is the second track released off the upcoming EP, following last month’s release of “Shadows,” which originally premiered on V Magazine, who hailed the track for its “shimmering synths” and “undeniable beat made for runway struts.” These two new songs offer a first glimpse of what fans can expect from her highly anticipated “BURN” EP, due April 6th.
To celebrate the release of the new EP, Little Boots has announced some upcoming DJ sets including an EP Launch Party at The Moth Club in London on April 27th (TICKETS) and April 28th at Wigwam inDublin (TICKETS). In addition, Victoria will playing a special EP release show in Los Angeles on May 12th at El Cid (TICKETS).
Little Boots’ forthcoming EP is a new collaborative project boasting some of the finest female talent in production. We will hear Little Boots shift even closer to the dance-floor, claiming a darker, more atmospheric territory while retaining her signature pop sensibilities. The result is an electrifying fusion of forward thinking dance production and Victoria’s trademark melodies and lyrics. Little Boots recently revealed more details on the upcoming EP with PAPER Magazine [read HERE].
Burn was co-produced by Victoria in collaboration with Joyce Muniz, Lauren Flax, Planningtorock and Cora Novoa and was mixed by Marta Salogni, fresh from her work on the latest Bjork album.
On the progression of her sound, Victoria says: “Creating a project focused on female talent is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and the process was incredibly inspiring. The producers involved hail from more underground backgrounds sonically and have very different approaches, but what tied everything together was their open mindedness and embrace of pop hooks and melodies. Since relocating to Los Angeles I’ve been DJing a lot and the shift in sound very much reflects this. In many ways this EP really feels like a rebirth for me. Conceptually, I’ve been interested in the themes of desire, lust and lack, so the title “Burn” can be interpreted in many ways, from the burn of desire, to the burn of pain; you cannot have one without the other.”
The “BURN” EP will be released April 6th. In the meantime, listen to new tracks “Shadows” and “Picture.”
