Mothica–the LA-based singer, performer, and visual artist McKenzie Ellis, has released her haunting and powerful new single “My Confession” (SharpTone Records) alongside a cinematic fantasy video directed by Micah Hamilton. “My Confession’ is one of those rare songs that fell out of the sky. I wrote it as a stream of consciousness, singing a seemingly endless amount of verses that just kept pouring out into my very crappy home recording setup,” said the artist.

Mothica added: “Lyrically, it changes perspectives from me talking about my fans to talking about past relationships and then about my addiction. I brought my demo into the studio with producer Elliot Polokoff and co-writer Trever Stewart and we added a chorus that sums up the song: holding onto pain because it’s comfortable. The lyric I am most proud of is: ‘it’s easier when I suffer / gives me reason to bite.’ Sometimes being angry is easier than feeling grief or sadness. And I have sought out chaos because it’s what I am used to. Who would I be if I finally learned my lesson?”
