“Chakzilla” pairs a disco-funk love-song about finding an equal partner with a giant-rebuilding music video where Chaka Khan restores a destroyed city.
I have a client in her 40s who has just finalized her divorce from her husband. They had met at the soccer field where they both played adult league recreational soccer, and their friendship grew into a marriage proposal and then a union that lasted almost 20 years. She shared that the divorce was a mutual decision that wasn't based on hostility in the relationship, just the changes they'd experienced as they matured.
Almost all of Hatchie's music could slot frictionlessly into a coming-of-age film. Her songs, mostly, are misty-eyed ruminations on puppy love and its ensuing devastation; they yearn for a redamancy that feels both fated and vexingly out of reach. You can imagine Harriette Pilbeam's millefeuille harmonies soundtracking a high school prom dappled with a disco ball's refractive glimmer, or picture her fleecy guitars over a montage of light teenage debauchery.
