Moody and murderous, the new song from Felicity and the Night evokes Tarantino and Tom Waits with a decidedly wicked twist. ‘Wanted to Die’ is the first single from Felicity Jayn Heath under her new moniker, Felicity and the Night. The Australian artist teamed up with producer Fil Thorpe in California for this track. Thorpe layers twangy spaghetti western guitars with spooky strings and synths to create a gauzy tapestry for the singer to work over.
Heath reflects on her inspiration and working with Thorpe, “I’m so inspired by bush ballads and murder ballads,” Felicity shares. “I love the darkness of the red desert and the eerie feeling that anything, anytime, could happen out there. ‘Wanted to Die’ tells a story of a desolate meeting that ends with an open grave. I wrote it with my friend and fellow recording artist, Devora, and it was produced by the amazing Fil Thorpe in Los Angeles. “ I’m so proud of it; I hope you like it.”
