Marika Hackman shares new single + video for “Slime”

UK-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Marika Hackman shares a new single entitled “Slime,” which follows previously released singles “No Caffeine” and “Hanging.” Another taste of her forthcoming self-produced new album Big Sigh, out January 12th on Chrysalis Records, “Slime” is an utterly captivating take on the unsteady beginnings of a relationship. Harkening back to Any Human Friend, Marika’s 2019 album that found her embracing her queer identity and sexuality in a big way, “Slime” is engrossing, tense and full of desire. The song recalls the chaos of a new relationship, those first flushes of passion and intimacy. “It’s a reflection of the destruction that can be caused when you get together with someone and there are other factors at play. On the one hand you have a new thing that’s really exciting and hot and lusty but there can also be a lot of storm clouds floating around, a lot of fall-out socially,” she explains. Listen to the song and watch the music video now, which was co-directed by Marika and Anne-Sofie Lindgaard.
