Tickets on sale here MOTHICA released her third album KISSING DEATH via her own imprint Heavy Heart Records in partnership with Rise Records/BMG in 2024. With KISSING DEATH, the prolific artist dives deeper into her powerful story with an ambitious audio/visual experience. The raw and cathartic collection of songs touch upon MOTHICA’s deeply personal and relatable battles with depression, addiction, and suicidal ideation. It is an immersive story across 12 tracks, with cinematic accompanying music videos. To celebrate this, MOTHICA has now compiled these videos into a short film which has an added narrative and titled KISSING DEATH (VISUAL ALBUM). The film will premiere on youtube on 21st March 2025 HERE 
“I promised you a visual album, and it’s finally being released on youtube on March 21st. Kissing Death was my most ambitious project ever, 12 music videos filmed in a week. Like what?! This album was about challenging my negative self-beliefs, changing the narrative I’ve lived with since I was a teenager that romanticized death and self destruction. Little did I know, I used so much energy trying to make it happen that I stopped taking care of myself and fell back into old habits. Looking back, it’s quite ironic that this album nearly killed me! So, I’m killing the perfectionist in me and putting it out as-is. It’s not perfect and there’s many things I wanted to change but it’s important to me to release it and close this chapter. To make room for what’s coming next. I hope you all love it and stick around for the future. Love you dearly,
MOTHICA” MOTHICA is known for her confessional songwriting and genre-defying musical releases that blend dark pop with rock, synthwave, goth and electronica for a mesmerising sonic fusion. The artist has built a fervent fanbase and has amassed hundreds of millions of streams, while further earning acclaim from the likes of Billboard, MTV, Teen Vogue, Buzzfeed, Alt Press, and more. Death is an uncomfortable topic that most people avoid thinking about, but MOTHICA decides to dance with it. Vulnerably, she laments her personal battles with depression, addiction, suicidal ideation, processing her pain with lush soundscapes underpinned by funereal keys, heart-thumping hard rock guitars, and disarmingly catchy moments of pop catharsis. “For my whole life, I’ve romanticised death,” she states. “In the back of my mind, suicide seemed like a natural and easy solution. When my thoughts get dark, I remind myself that we have an infinite amount of time to ‘not exist.’ For the small sliver I’m here, it’s important to soak up every second and make the most of it. It’s scary to surrender to the unknown, but it’s powerful to not give into my toxic vices anymore’.” Born in Oklahoma, she moved to Brooklyn, New York for art school, and is now based in Los Angeles. In 2015, she started independently releasing music, taking a full-on DIY approach utilising her background as an illustrator and graphic designer to design her own merch and creative direct her music videos. Her story has unfolded across her first two albums, Blue Hour [2020], and NOCTURNAL[2022]. She emerges as the rare creative chameleon who jumps genres from electronic music, left-of-center pop, and recently exploring rock/ metal influences, collaborating with Polyphia, Scene Queen and Papa Roach. Some career highlights include: her independently released “VICES” which skyrocketed to no. 2 on the Pop iTunes chart in 2020, her song “Buzzkill” about sexual assault with over 51 million Spotify streams and her rendition of Bring Me The Horizon’s “Can You Feel My Heart” is a crowd favourite with 25 million Spotify streams. In the last year, she toured North America and Europe with Coheed & Cambria and Halestorm, in addition to various festivals. Over the last two years, she assembled her most creative vision to date with KISSING DEATH, a captivating visual album that takes listeners on a captivating journey across 12 tracks and their accompanying music videos. “I decided to make the Grim Reaper a love interest in a dark rom-com-style tale,” she notes. “Throughout the visuals, I’m seen in a therapist’s office explaining this complicated relationship as if describing a scorned lover. The videos unfold a surrealist version of my life story.” “I thought, ‘How do I cope with the fact I embrace life so much now that I have a fear of losing it?’ There’s a bit of dark humour, because I wanted to artistically portray what it’s like to live with this shadow following me.” She leaves off, “If you have struggled with depression, anxiety, or addiction, you can listen to this and maybe find pieces of your own story.” SELECT VIDEOS: WATCH THE REAPER NOW
