When summer has just started, more people think about “quitting” – their jobs or bad habits – and getting some new experiences, trying something they haven’t tried before. This is at the heart of Juliet Lyons and Chris Wirsig’s Hyperpop song “Quitting Time.” Don’t look back, move forward, get a new lease on life.
With its bouncy beats, the mix of Western and Indian percussion, and creative use of synthesizers and old homecomputer sounds, “Quitting Time” will animate you to let go and dance your worries away. All carried by Juliet Lyons’ shiny, strong vocals: “Quitting Time is our first collaboration, and while Chris generally has a rather dark aesthetic, when I heard the huge and unexpected lift in the chorus, I knew we had to lean into it. I focused on creating a celebratory top line with lighter lyrics - not blinding you with sunshine, but certainly allowing some rays in,” says Juliet about writing and recording the song.
Chris adds: “When I first heard Juliet’s vocal ideas, I immediately loved the positive vibe she brings to it. It starts from a more brooding place, but lifts with the chorus, and I love it when songs have some twists and turns.”
“Quitting Time” is available on all streaming & downloading platforms from June 24,2022.
