‘I’m Like Money’ is the new song from new synth pop/rock duo Your Future Ghost. The band is the new musical project of Billboard-charting singer-songwriter, musician and actress Kate Voegele and the multifaceted songwriter, producer, composer and actor Michael Grubbs.
‘I’m Like Money’ is a declaration of self-expression and unabashed uniqueness. “It’s a testament to granting ourselves permission to revel in the sheer joy of being who we truly are.” Voegele further shares, “In one sense, it’s a song about celebrating who you are and knowing you’re a badass, but also being sick of people trying to get a piece of you or tell you who to be. I’ve experienced this so often as a woman in the music and entertainment industry, where people have a very specific idea of who they want you to be and how to mold and shape you into that, but I think this is something everyone experiences in some sense. This song is about taking the power back, knowing your worth and what you bring to the table, and not being afraid to say, “hey, don’t f*cking touch me” when that’s called for.” With gritty, hard-hitting guitar riffs, punchy instrumentation and a pop hook that won’t quit, ‘I’m Like Money’ is an exhilarating and fearless self-love banger.
The music video for ‘I’m Like Money’ is directed by Teck and is a mini little horror movie with the two members playing scheming villains out in the desert hustling people who get lured into their trap looking to get rich. Voegele shares, “I’m basically this alien giant who entices hopeful visitors with showers of cash, but they soon realize if they touch me, they disintegrate and turn into money. It’s got some echoes of King Midas cautionary tale vibes, where the teachable moment is essentially you can look but you can’t touch, but it was also just super fun visuals to shoot.”
