Strawberry Aqua TO Release bright synth-pop breakup song, memories

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LOS ANGELES – Strawberry Aqua will release their third single, ‘Memories’ on Friday, December 9, 2022. Optimistic and bright, “Memories” is a rare breakup song for those whose hearts have healed and are ready to move on. An evolution from their first two singles, ‘Last Dance’ and ‘Walk Away,’ ‘Memories’ is the story of growth and newfound appreciation for the one that they loved. 

The two members of Strawberry Aqua, Becca Rogers, based in the Washington, D.C area., and Marion Birdsall, a native of Los Angeles, wrote ‘Memories’ in several phases over the course of a year. Days before mastering the song, they made a last minute decision to change a core melody which they felt hadn’t built up to a cathartic release the song needed. They were inspired by the production of Justin Bieber’s Ghost to build a structure with distinct sections consisting of piano, a folksy guitar, a dreamy synth, and upbeat electronic drums. Strawberry Aqua's artistic growth is reflected in the placement of guitar riffs or heavy electronic elements to enhance the emotions of different lyrical sections. Early listeners have likened the production to “skipping through a field of strawberry cotton candy.”

‘Memories’ features a catchy, inspiring hook sung by Marion Birdsall, “Our memories are all that I need, it makes me happy to know that you’re alright.” Birdsall says, “We wanted to create a song that inspired the heartbroken. This is a song you can get up and run to: it’s invigorating and breathes life back into the anguish we often feel post breakup.” Both in the production and lyrically, ‘Memories’ is a window into what’s to come for Strawberry Aqua.

Memories’ will be distributed to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and most major streaming platforms. For more information, album artwork, photography or to request interviews with the artist, please contact strawberryaquaband@gmail.com or visit https://www.strawberryaquaband.com/
