Little Boots Shares New Single ‘Silver Balloons’
British Electro-pop artist, producer and DJ, Little Boots, AKA Victoria Hesketh, is back with her gorgeous new single Silver Balloons, out now via her own imprint On Repeat Records.
The first single to be taken from her upcoming self-produced album, set to arrive in 2022, Silver Balloons marks a return to the artist's original true DIY disco pop roots, which finds Little Boots not only writting the song but also producing it. I am a fan of her gorgeous vocals and how they soar beautifully over the polished electronic production that is packed with a bouncing analogue bassline nicely intertwined with squelchy synths, soaring keys, and sweet pop melodies. Check it out below!
Of the track Victoria says,
Silver Balloons is in many ways a metaphor for all the cancelled plans and parties of lockdown, all of the disappointments as one by one we watched many of our hopes and desires burst like shiny balloons at the end of the night. All we have left is each other; coming together and holding tight to hope is the way we have all seemed to get through the last couple of years. Sonically, I was listening to a lot of classic 70s songwriters during the making of this record while really putting the piano at the centre of everything, so you can hear echoes of Elton John, Carole King, The Bee Gees, even Wings. The piano and vocals in this track also really remind me of one of my all-time favourites Saint Etienne. I’m also especially proud of 100% writing and producing this record myself, and it being totally powered by my fans via their support on Patreon.
