WALLICE Announces Debut EP ‘Off The Rails’
Wallice pairs bite with whimsy in her latest heavy-hitter Hey Michael.
Los Angeles newcomer Wallice continues to charm listeners with her own brand of off-kilter indie music as she shares infectious new offering, Hey Michael. The track is taken from her upcoming debut EP, Off The Rails, expected for release in early Summer.
Sitting somewhere between indie rock and bedroom pop, Hey Michael is a wonderful voyage into the unique world of Wallice. Underpinned with the playful beat, the song blends soft pop vocals with more urgent rock-tinged instrumentals, creating a bright yet pressing sound. The track shines with sardonic twists and acute observations as Wallice toys with the concept of modern dating in an unfiltered and self-deprecating manner.
Speaking on the new single, Wallice explains:
‘Hey Michael’ is a revenge anthem for anyone who has encountered a gaslighting, manipulative person. It’s what I wish I would have said to all the ‘Michael’s’ I have met in my life. It can be substituted by many names, we all know or have met a ‘Michael’ though. Somehow the world revolves around them and they just can’t catch a break, because they never do anything wrong and it’s usually your fault. You should have listened to your gut instinct and swiped left on this Michael. This isn’t a man-hating song, it’s just something many people can relate to. Sometimes it’s embarrassing to admit just how bad a friend, date, or romantic partner was and a lot of the time, I would just smile and laugh off stupid remarks but when I think back, I wish I had told them off. But at the same time, my persona in the song is not the best person either. I literally say “I think I want to start a fight, which one is your girlfriend?” The whole song is funny because I am so focused on how shitty Michael is that I don’t even think about how shitty I might be as well.
