Mothica–the LA-based singer, performer, and visual artist McKenzie Ellis–today released her haunting and powerful new single “My Confession” (SharpTone Records) alongside a cinematic fantasy video directed by Micah Hamilton.
Her latest epic release follows this year’s Somewhere In Between EP and sees Mothica continuing to explore her heaviest and loudest sonic terrain to date. “‘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,” McKenzie explains. “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?”
Mothica will embark on a UK and European tour in early 2027, supporting RØRY on the UK shows before heading to Europe with Harpy.
