Katy Rae’s ‘New Girl’ Is a Middle Finger Wrapped in a Power Chord
Katy Rae has become an indomitable force on the alt-rock scene with a vocal presence that could make Courtney Love quake in her babydoll dresses. With a lo-fi, garagey take on pop-punk-pierced alt-rock, she snarls her way to the top of the scene, spitting venom in every note. ‘New Girl’ is a vindicating anthem, fuelled by swathes of rage hurled like a projectile at an ex who’s parading his latest conquest—one who will inevitably feel the same indignation. With a serrated-edge hook and a chorus built for bellowing, the track turns scorn into anthemic resolve. There’s no lamenting the past here, only the sound of someone stepping over the wreckage with an amp dialled up to vengeful. The fallout is all yours to scream along to. Katy Rae’s songwriting is as sharp as her delivery. Pulling from personal experience, she turns life’s bruises into sonic bruisers, scuffing up the pop edges of her sound with raw production and riot-ready energy. The single is available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.
