Mallrat Teams Up with Kito for New Song “Hocus Pocus”
Australian singer-songwriter Mallrat teamed up with Los Angeles-based DJ Kito to release a new song “Hocus Pocus” on October 23, 2024.
The song is accompanied by the Tom Carroll-directed music video.
For Mallrat, it is the second single of 2024, following “Ray of Light” released back in August.
The song samples American producer DJ Zirk's 2001 “Born2 Lose”.
The track was written by Grace Shaw, Kaelyn Behr, Leroy Clampitt, and Maaike Kito Lebbing. Produced by Styalz Fuego and Kito.
Mallrat said of the song, “I fell over and fractured my arm dancing to this demo on a walk home. I couldn't help but be excited! I had to wear a cast and sling. When I was writing the pre-chorus section of this song, I was thinking of the sharp inhale breaths as lyrics that needed their own moment, kind of like a punchline. A lot of the time in pop music, breaths are edited out and turned down, but they felt important here to me.”- Kito shared, “Happy release day to this witchy song. love u to bits and especially love making music with you Mallrat. Written with Leroy Clampitt over many cups of teas and finished production with the wizard Styalz Fuego.”
