Returning with yet another ultra-relatable single that fits on your pop-centric playlist, Rachel Bochner has the perfect song for every 20-something out there who wishes they could blow off responsibilities and spend their cash however they want. “last paycheck” follows her previous release, “pretty when u cry,” and just between these two tracks, listeners can pick up on the wide range of content which Rachel writes about. Released yesterday, on 2.22.22, “last paycheck” is more of a night-out kind of party track, but all of Rachel’s songs are tied together by a common thread: common experiences that we can all relate to.
Rachel Bochner started her career in the music industry with an A&R internship before realizing her true passion was for creating and sharing her music. Her musical influences include modern-day powerhouse female artists like Lana Del Rey, Maggie Rogers, Julia Michaels, and Lorde, but she is clearly paving her own way and defining her own unique sound as she makes pop music that can resonate with people at any stage in their life, drawing sometimes difficult emotions to the surface. While the official release date of her upcoming EP, twenty something, is not yet public, the single releases thus far have marked it as a highly-anticipated must-listen. Her EP champions the incredible team of women-identifying collaborators Rachel has worked with, from writing, production, mix/mastering, to the visuals accompanying the tracks.
Whimsical in nature, “last paycheck” gives listeners an escape into the electro-pop realm of shedding responsibility, perhaps recalling memories of late-night (mis)adventures that you may remember from days when you had fewer things in your life to devote your time to. Strong bass beats and fuzzy synths allow listeners to escape into this world where you spend your last paycheck and can imagine what you would do if you were rich. A catchy chorus reveals what Rachel wants to do with her time and money and will have you singing along by the end of the song. With its upbeat energy and entertaining imagery, this track makes for the perfect blast-worthy song for the next time you’re out with your friends.
Let “last paycheck” be a reminder to live life while you can, even if that means being a little bit irresponsible every once in a while. After all, money doesn’t last forever, but memories can last a lifetime.
