MOTHICA drops powerful new single Casualty: “I didn’t want to let these inherited destructive diseases control me anymore”
MOTHICA has shared a brand-new single, Casualty, that is as impactful as it is catchy.
Alt. star MOTHICA has shared a powerful new single, Casualty.
Released via Heavy Heart Records – her imprint with Rise Records and BMG – the single tackles some personal and important subject matter, with Mothica wanting to address them head-on.
“On the way to the studio, I was thinking about how many things in my life were set up to destroy me,” she explains. “Like, alcoholism and depression that runs in my family. I suffer from both, and I really hate the idea of either of these things being the reason I give up on life. The word 'casualty' refers more to the numbers to represent how fatal a war is, and doesn’t really consider the individuality of each life lost.
“With over two years sober, this song was an empowered response, that I didn’t want to let these inherited destructive diseases control me anymore. A promise to not die by suicide or drug overdose, which was a very real trajectory for me in the past. It’s one of those songs that just sets my soul on fire in the best way.”
