Hella Precious, in collaboration with EDM virtuoso Skeleton Ocean, presents such a rarity with their latest single, “Ghosts.” This track explores the fragility of love and the liberation from the specters of bygone afflictions. The opening bars of “Ghosts” are a soft whisper of synths that soon erupt into a pulsating drum and bass cadence, setting a backdrop for what is an introspective exploration of love’s many shades. Hella Precious’ vocal delivery is nothing short of haunting, weaving through the melody with a spectral grace that is both chilling and comforting.
“Ghosts” breaks free from the confines of genre, combining dream pop, hyper-pop, and breakbeat to produce a musical environment that is both grounded and gorgeous drawing inspiration from artists such as Aurora and Calvin Harris. The song is a hymn of love, but it has enough intensity to be equally at home on the dance floor or on a night of reflection.
The duo’s synergy was forged in the solitude of the pandemic in Tucson, AZ, and has since blossomed into a force that commands international attention. Their previous hit, “Back to You,” laid the groundwork for the acclaim that “Ghosts” is sure to amplify. The track’s inclusion in HBO’s ‘The L Word: Generation Q’ is a testament to its universal appeal and the emotional chord it strikes with listeners across the globe.

LYRICS
I see a window in your eyes
Hold my hand while I make my way home
I see the moment has arrived
You can break my sorry soul
And if you can speak to me
In words so soft so sweet
I just want to be free with you
I just want to be free with you
Arrows shoot through
Part of my heart
I am here
I won’t stop
Ghosts in my dreams
You hear me, happy
Hopes in my dreams
You cure me
Fly
Cuts on my hands
Scratches on your knees
Do you understand me?
Our hearts beating fast
Straight into the ocean
While you’re running through my past
Ghosts in my dreams
You hear me, happy
Hopes in my dreams
You cure me
Fly
