Girl: Vinyl LP
Girl is the second album from the North London band Girl Ray, released on 8th November 2019 via Moshi Moshi. Recorded at Electric Beach Studios in Margate with Ash Workman (Christine and the Queens, Metronomy), the album is a delightful, sun-kissed tribute to their love of pop and R&B.
The three-piece, comprising Poppy Hankin, Iris McConnell and Sophie Moss, today share a taster of the new record with âShow Me Moreâ. According to the band, the song is about âcrushing really hard but having to play the long game and wait it out because your boo is playing savage games. Itâs your classic pop banger. Steamy dance floor. Drinks on me.â The accompanying video was directed by Crusoe Weston and features the band cycling around the city at dusk.
It was Ariana Grandeâs explosion into pop culture that kickstarted a new era for Girl Ray, as well as the realisation that their most-listened-to Spotify playlists contained pure pop music. When Poppy began experimenting with writing songs on a computer using keyboards, a collection of shimmering, foot-tapping, sparkling pop bangers poured out. With this new set of songs, Girl Ray have been brave enough to completely change their sound rather than play it safe, yet still remain unmistakably themselves - itâs Girl Ray, but with added synths.
If their debut, Earl Grey, was a hot cup of tea and a cuddle on the sofa, Girl is being in a cab with the windows down on the way to a beach bar for sundowners. Itâs the excitement of Rihannaâs If Itâs Lovinâ That You Want, combined with the eye-rolling, impenetrable sardonic humour of a girl gang. Among the grin-inducing, trepidatious and intensely courageous R&B-style tracks on the album, are also beautifully composed piano ballads steeped in the sadness and unrequited love that made Earl Grey feel like a knowing look from an old friend.
Girl is expertly-crafted pop, created by dedicated artists on a mission to make music for people to really enjoy. Music that doesnât look to confuse or patronise. Music to fall in love to, to dance to. Songs youâd want to send to your friends. They have used the universal, happy medium of pop music to put across joyous, accessible messages of love, friendship and life to the world, like some of the best songwriters before them.
