Wallice releases new single "Funeral"
Wallice has released new single "Funeral" as the final preview of her 90s American Superstar EP before it lands in full on Friday (6 May).
"Funeral" is the closing song from Wallice's new EP, and follows earlier outings "90s American Superstar" and "Little League".
Wallice says of the new outing, which is accompanied by a visualiser shot by Ali Scharf, ""Funeral" is a spin on the usual emotions and celebrations (or lack thereof) at a funeral – shifting the view to make it more like a concert. It’s taking the EP’s "larger than life" concept of being a celebrity (or at least trying to) and having this funeral be a massive party. I talk about having a pregame for the funeral, an open bar, a camera crew and rocking and rolling."
"This is my favourite song I’ve ever written," Wallice adds. "We tracked live trombone, saxophone, flute, trumpet, I played cello, and then my guitarist Callaghan Kevany recorded an insane guitar solo at the end. It’s a marriage of my classical and jazz roots with the rock sound that I’ve grown into. I want people to dance to this song and have fun. Even though it’s a song about death, I don’t think it necessarily feels that way. Maybe we should shift the perspective of funerals to not be so sad."
90s American Superstar will follow Wallice's 2021 debut EP Off the Rails, and was written and recorded at Wallice's Grandparents house in Southern Utah.
