13th Floor New Song Of The Day: Estère – Animal Pleasure
Its Friday…the perfect time for a little Animal Pleasure from Estère.
Animal Pleasure is the third single to be released from Estère’s highly-anticipated new album Archetypes due out January 22nd, 2021. Don’t believe us? Here’s the record company blurb with the facts:
It’s summertime in New Zealand, and “Animal Pleasure” is just as steamy as the weather predictions for the next three months. Estère’s beat-laden soul-infused delivery of her latest single unleashes her personal Lilith, laying down her up-front agenda for attending a nighttime soirée – a delightful tryst.
Animal Pleasure focuses on the archetype of sexuality, through a portrayal of lust and desire. Estère depicts herself as unabashedly on the hunt for some consensual satisfaction, a “pleasure high to remind you you’re alive” as she sings it.
Estère says, “This song is about recognising my own instinct as a female, human, ANIMAL and acting upon it without fear or shame.” The playful mood of the track is conveyed through a sparse, hook driven guitar line that interweaves with infectious rhythm as well as Estère’s seductive vocals.
Often likened to both Little Dragon and St Vincent, in 2019 Estère’s songwriting and producing prowess grabbed the attention of esteemed Massive Attack producer Stew Jackson. Together, they created the future forward throwback album, Archetypes, featuring Estère’s soaring vocals, body-moving R&B grooves, dense production and engrossing narratives.
Animal Pleasure is the third single from Estère’s upcoming and highly-anticipated third album, Archetypes, to be released on 22 January 2021 through all streaming platforms and on vinyl through Blue Riot Records, in New Zealand.
