Grace Shaw, the Australian bedroom artist who records as Mallrat, has been giddily recombining different forms of pop music and racking up serious buzz since she was 16. After releasing a trio of EPs, Mallrat returned last year with a more chilled-out and expansive style on the single “Rockstar.” Today, she’s followed that song with a new single called “Your Love.” “Your Love” is not an Outfield cover. It’s a spaced-out pop song built on a hypnotic dance beat, and it works in a sample of the ancestral Memphis underground rapper Gangsta Pat. Mallrat co-produced “Your Love” with Australian pop producer Stylaz Fuego, and it’s a strange, fantastic, catchy song.
Shaw’s friend James Robinson shot the “Your Love” video in Tasmania, mostly shooting at an abandoned gas station. The clip gives general Euphoria vibes — ominous atmosphere, porny undertone, rapid and jittery editing. In a press release, Mallrat says: When I wrote “Your Love,” I was listening to a lot of old Memphis rap, like Three 6 Mafia and Project Pat. I genuinely loved producing this song and am obsessed with the energy that the Gangsta Pat sample brings. I shot the “Your Love” video in Tasmania with my friends James Robinson (director) and Amy Dellar (cinematographer). My favourite shots are in the final scene — it was 1 am, and we spontaneously decided to shoot on the football field. And then the sprinklers came on, and it was magic. She has toured both at home and internationally, including European and North American support for Maggie Rogers, Post Malone and King Princess, selling out headline shows from London to New York, and collecting fans in the likes of Mark Ronson along the way.
