Your Future Ghost Releases New Song “I'm Like Money”
American synth pop-rock duo Your Future Ghost, consisting of American singer-songwriter and actress Kate Voegele and New York-based producer Michael Grubbs, released a new song “I'm Like Money” on October 25, 2024.
The song is the fourth single off of their upcoming debut album, which is expected to be released in 2025.
The track is a declaration of self-expression and unabashed uniqueness.
It was written by Kate Voegele, and Michael Grubbs who also produced the track.
Kate Voegele said of the song, “It's a testament to granting ourselves permission to revel in the sheer joy of being who we truly are. In one sense, it's a song about celebrating who you are and knowing you're a badass, but also being sick of people trying to get a piece of you or tell you who to be.”
She continued, “I've experienced this so often as a woman in the music and entertainment industry, where people have a very specific idea of who they want you to be and how to mold and shape you into that, but I think this is something everyone experiences in some sense. This song is about taking the power back, knowing your worth and what you bring to the table, and not being afraid to say, 'hey, don't f*cking touch me' when that's called for.”- The accompanying music video was directed by Teck Sokic.
The clip is a mini little horror movie with the duo playing scheming villains out in the desert hustling people who get lured into their trap looking to get rich.
Kate Voegele said of the video, “I'm basically this alien giant who entices hopeful visitors with showers of cash, but they soon realize if they touch me, they disintegrate and turn into money. It's got some echoes of King Midas cautionary tale vibes, where the teachable moment is essentially you can look but you can't touch, but it was also just super fun visuals to shoot.” -
The debut album features a collection of joyful, wild and dark pop songs. The duo has crafted an album inspired by finding the fun, the party, and the refuge in the chaos of a post-apocalyptic world.
Michael Grubbs said, “I would like to encourage folks to accept themselves. Which isn't easy. I'm like this sadboy emo dude and Kate is this singer-songwriter pop star, and together we're making this dirty indie album because that's who we've always really been inside.” - source : Apple Music
