Haute & Freddy – “Touch Touch”
Michelle Buzz and Lance Shipp are two seasoned pop-industry songwriters who teamed up to form the retro art-pop duo Haute & Freddy, and they released their debut album Big Disgrace earlier this year. It's really good! They've steadily accumulated buzz since the LP came out, and now they've followed it by dropping the bouncily operatic new synthpop jam "Touch Touch." Also good! I can honestly…
Michelle Buzz and Lance Shipp, accomplished pop-industry songwriters, joined forces to create the retro art-pop duo Haute & Freddy. Their debut album, Big Disgrace, was released earlier this year and has garnered significant attention. Following the success of their first album, the duo released the catchy new synthpop song, "Touch Touch."
This track is also well-received and may become their anthem for "Good Luck, Babe!" in a smaller capacity. Michelle Buzz shared her thoughts on the song: it's about the empowerment of intimacy or the comfort that community provides in the chaos of life, but it's undeniably dramatic. During the creation of "Touch Touch," Buzz was dancing in the kitchen when she felt the urge to compose the chorus.
She and Lance Shipp were writing in Joshua Tree, and when Lance played the bass line, Buzz instantly knew they had the chorus. The chorus is lusty and fun, while the verses showcase the sensitive side of the duo amidst the escapism. The music video for "Touch Touch" was directed by Amalia Irons. The song is now available on Atlantic Records.
