Isolation Together #2 — Michelle Rocqet
Welcome to Isolation Together! These are strange and uncertain times, and Lady Cactus wants to do our part to help musicians who have been massively affected by COVID-19. So send us your music, videos, live stream announcements, and more! We will be featuring folks on our blog and social media in the coming weeks, and we would love to include you too. Email us at hello@ladycactus.me for a chance to be featured!
Today’s featured artist is Michelle Rocqet who blessed us with her first single on April 3rd. For some, music is a weapon. For Michelle, it is mechanism for healing. As a Vocalist, Beatboxer, Songwriter, Producer, Educator, Creative Director, and member of experimental pop band, The Milk Blossoms, she uses her platform to bridge differences through visceral truth-telling and radical self acceptance. She has had the great honor of sharing the stage with some of her personal heroes including: Cocorosie, Michelle Obama, The Swingle Singers, and Ezra Furman. Based out of Denver, Colorado, Michelle does not suffer fools and is slightly lactose intolerant.
“This song Interview is about having difficult conversations. It's about asking for what you need and also being prepared to get an answer you don't want. The very beginning dynamic of a relationship can feel a lot like an interview. Sometimes we try to position ourselves to look better than we are, or sometimes we can create immense connection through being vulnerable and honest. This song is a cross-pollination of R&B, pop, and a little lofi. Genre classification is always enigmatic to me. You probably have a better idea of what it actually sounds like.”
