KC Rae (KC Dalager from Now, Now) makes her solo debut with ‘Blockbuster’, a nostalgic track with late 90s/Y2K vibes. With bittersweet lyrics, KC Rae shares a memory that comes alive with her sharp storytelling.
“This song is about a very specific memory with my cousin. I was terrified of breaking rules as a kid, so this experience of swiping her stepdad’s car, without a license, to go rent a movie has sunk itself into the core memory archives. It also captures the entire relationship with my cousin and crashing through childhood and adolescence together. I have a really intense sensory memory, so the end of the track is a tangent of every time I’ve felt a specific breeze while with her. I also wanted to highlight and display all of these little instances of growing up that you don’t realize are going to stick with you”
