FEATURETTE Returns With New Song “Cocaine”
Toronto-based electro-pop duo FEATURETTE, consisting of Lexie Jay (vocals) and Jon Fedorsen (drums), returned with a new song “Cocaine” on February 3, 2023.
It is their first music in two years since the 2021 “The Blame (Exposed Version)”.
The track was written by Alexandra Elizabeth Jelilyan, Jonathan Stephen Fedorsen, and Marc Koecher.
“This song was born from leaning into the chaos, when it comes to obsessive behaviour,” lead singer Lexie Jay said of the song. “'Cocaine' is a total heart rush of addictive beats, run-on sentences, and cyclical thoughts. It's absolutely relentless and provides no relief.”
She continued, “I'm painting love-obsession as if it were a drug, and it's my drug of choice. 'Cocaine' is meant to capture that new, all consuming, check-your-phone-every-three-seconds kind of love, toxic and manic as it may be; full of butterflies and nausea. Obsession has been a topic I've been stuck on since the pandemic started. Too much time to think coupled with a racing mind has been a recipe for disaster, so I started writing some of my thoughts down and trying to capture what that might sound like.”- She added, “Someone close to me recently gave me permission to go all the way with my art, to lean into the uncomfortable topics and make those really fucking weird sounds. For me, this is my first attempt at delving into the uglier bits of the human experience. It's a genre-bending little jackrabbit of a track, it scratches that itch in my brain that I've been dying to explore. I'm looking forward to leaning into the weird much more in our next few releases.”
FEATURETTE embarks on the 2023 Spring Tour. The tour kicks off at Bronson Centre in Ottawa, ON, Canada on March 3, 2023.
