Eighteen Again was recorded at her home, at her desk, in her attic. The authenticity is immaculate, and the retro recording style only further fuels the 80s vibes. ‘Eighteen Again’ is about an age left behind, it is the coming-of-age song that mourns the end of being a teenager. It’s not saying that the party is over, it’s reconciling with the learning process of being a teen. These emotions are made evident throughout the song by the reflective synths and nostalgic basslines. Tara Bridget is a really hot prospect, and she is only going to get bigger and better.

Palace Cats fourth single ‘Honey’ is entirely self-produced and is a modern tale of unrequited love, depicted through the honey-like sweetness of oscillating synthesizers, smooth guitars, and an 808 drum track. ‘Honey’ features their most infectious choruses to date, whilst the song shows further development of the band’s compositional skills.
