“I love being able to share a piece of myself through the art of songwriting and it’s rare for songs that I didn’t write to completely resonate with me, but the minute I heard ‘Go Get Er’ I knew it needed to be on the record,” Moskaluke said in a media release. “Having the opportunity to be the voice on this track, and scream to the world that your partner should be just that — a partner — was one I couldn’t pass up.

“Playing on traditional gender roles and the expectations historically placed on women, ‘Go Get Er’ is a welcome reminder that we all get to set the standard for our own relationships. Like I sing in the song, ‘If that’s the kinda girl you need, there’s nothing wrong to want what you want, but baby that’ll never be me.’”

Regina’s Synthetik Blonde has a new video to accompany one of its latest songs, Dreams of You.
The alternative-pop duo — comprising Stefani Kleppe and Brad Evanochko — released their sophomore album, Pieces, this past summer.
Dreams of You is the first single from that record.
According to a media release, the track “dives headfirst into the dangerous, thrilling appeal of obsessive love — and the emotional fallout that stems from it.”
The accompanying video was produced by Regina filmmaker Aaron Sinclair, who helped Synthetik Blonde “put together a visual concept that captures the pure, unadulterated melodrama of classic ‘80s music videos and movies. Inspired by pop royalty Michael Jackson, Bonnie Tyler, and Madonna, the resulting music video is both dreamy and kinetic, perfectly capturing the spirit of the song.”
