Gretel returns with new single 'Far Out'

Following on from her much-loved 'Head Of The Love Club' EP last year, Gretel (FKA Gretel Hänlyn) returns once again to share a brand new single.

The new track 'Far Out' was co-produced by long-term collaborator Mura Masa, and has been released via her own imprint Breadcrumb Records, in partnership with AWAL Recordings.

Speaking about the new offering, she said, “Far Out is a big window into my personality and my favourite bits of the writing process; it’s aloof and came from a kinda sarcastic, rebellious place. There’s elements in the song that I never thought would make the Final Cut, like the loud, constant beeping, but once I started conceptualising the deadpan dancing in the music video, I realised those elements only added more personality. I had an idea a long time ago that I wanted to do a weird dance for a music video but I was waiting for a suitable song to whip out my moves. Alex was actually the one to show me the iconic Bob Fosse club dance scene in his film ‘Sweet Charity’, said it looked like something I’d do, and I was dazzled. The music video pays homage to that scene, and I used styling as a direct nod to Suzanne Charny’s character. This song is the first of many more.”
