Tania was approached by Mirosonic to collaborate on an existing dance track instrumental piece called CATWALK !!!. She was drawn to the expansiveness of the piece and the theatrical feel. Tania then invited her daughter Freya, to co-write and Freya came up with a vocal melody that weaves through the throughout the dance instrumentation, whilst Tania focused on lyrics that evoke a trance, hypnotic state inspired by the Phantom and Christine’s co-dependant pull.
From Freya’s enigmatic vocals evoke an unearthly quality that lies between droid and a human cry.
