Sonic Sweetness, Bitter Truth: Juliana Hatfield Coats Mid-Life Dread in New Single "Popsicle"
From Juliana Hatfield's forthcoming album, Lightning Might Strike, comes her second single, "Popsicle," which is out today with a new video directed by Paige Applin.
“Could ‘Popsicle’ take the prize for ‘feel-bad song of the winter’? It certainly doesn’t pull any punches in its description of mid-life disillusionment. But sonically I was going for fun and catchy, as ever. I love to take a simple, recognizable idea—the sweet frozen perennial summer treat, in this case—and use it as a symbol of all the dread in my head,” - Juliana
