Alex Preston & Julia Church Drop Nu Disco Treas ‘Pink Pocket’

London-based electronic imprint Another Rhythm share an international collaboration from Australian producer Alex Preston and South-African songwriter-producer Julia Church. Drenched in layers of funk and Nu-Disco bliss, ‘Pink Rocket’ is an upbeat summer gem with an essential lyrical message from Allies to the LGBTQIA+ community. The lyrics discuss  ‘dreaming of a world of acceptance’ and ‘finding what loving yourself really means’, as lyricist Julia Church elaborates:

 

“I wrote [..Pink Rocket..] after a friend confided in me about their sexuality and how not embracing it fully felt like an anchor in their life. Our busy world makes it hard for some to carve out their space and live authentically. I imagined the silence and disconnection of outer space to be a safe haven for them to explore themselves so I would help to build their rocket and join them on their quest.”

“The first time I heard Julia’s original version of Pink Rocket I was hooked and had to work with her on it. The track came together pretty quickly as it just came flowing out. I wanted the track to be simple at the start, with just the guitar and vocal; and, then expand taking the listener on a journey as if they were boarding the Pink Rocket.It’s such a beautiful song at the core and I think it’s going to be one of those records that means something special to so many people.”
