Marika Hackman releases new single ‘all night’

Marika Hackman has released a new single entitled ‘all night’.

It’s taken from the forthcoming album Any Human Friend, which will be released on August 9th. “This whole record is me diving into myself and peeling back the skin further and further, exposing myself in quite a big way,” she’s said of it. “It can be quite sexual. It’s blunt, but not offensive. It’s mischievous.”

Hackman plays in-store UK gigs from the day of release, starting at Rough Trade in London and moving on to Resident in Brighton, Rough Trade in Bristol, Rough Trade in Nottingham, Jumbo in Leeds and Assai in Edinburgh. “I thought it would be exciting to write a really overtly sexual song about a woman from the perspective of a woman,” she adds on the single.

“You don’t hear much about sex between women in music, or if you do its usually from a fetishised male perspective, I thought I’d reclaim a bit of that power.”
