Hypnotic

About Hypnotic

"Hypnotic" is a song recorded by American singer Zella Day for her second extended play, Zella Day (2014), and her second studio album, Kicker (2015). It was released as the latter record's lead single on February 27, 2015 as a digital download through Pinetop and Hollywood Records. Written by Zella Day, Xandy Barry, James Bailey, and Ryan Ogren, "Hypnotic" was produced by the Wax LTD team of Barry and Wally Gagel. Musically an alternative, folk, and pop song, its lyrics deal with the protagonist begging her lover for mutual respect. The song was regarded by contemporary music critics as a standout. It was also appreciated for bringing the sadcore genre to light. An accompanying music video for "Hypnotic" was issued ten days after its after physical release, and features the singer bathing in a bathtub with a horse, dancing in a room, and driving a car through the desert. more »
