Brisbane's new princess of punk-tinged pop, Jorja B releases slamming new single, 'Hate U Now'

Brisbane’s upcoming princess of punk-tinged pop, Jorja B follows up on her previous single, ‘Like You Back’, with the positively slamming new single ‘Hate U Now’.

The latest release is the perfect headbanger for the brokenhearted, and the hilariously bitter.

Full of lo-fi fuzz bass, grungy guitars, intense drums and hard synths, all blending into a catch rock melody, put simply, ‘Hate U Now’ explores a harsh reality for a lot of single people; what it’s like to hate your ex.

The track touches on themes of heartbreak, betrayal and anger, while taking the listener on an empowering wave of emotional freedom, at the same time poking fun at the classic heartbroken hot mess stereotype.

Jorja B attacks ‘Hate U Now’ with all the passion of Taylor Swift writing a later-era Fall Out Boy track. The crafty vocal melodies wrapped around harnessed heartbreak and acceptance, fused with lo-fi punk that blooms into super-catchy dance emo have all the makings for slamming break-up memes, ripe for TikTok. Jorja B channels contagious hot mess with ease, leaving us flustered, blushing and with a hell of a punk pop banger imprinted in our brains.

“Breakups never feel good. I wanted to capture the authentic anger associated with grieving in one pop punk banger that everyone can relate to.” - Jorja B

Jorja’s love for music began with a cheap kid’s guitar and a few YouTube tutorials. What started as a collection of half-finished verses and the same four recycled chords has now blossomed into a promising career for the Brisbane-based singer-songwriter.

With all released singles landing placement in Spotify editorial playlists and growing numbers on social media, it is clear that this is only the beginning for the 21 year old up- and-coming artist.

‘Hate U Now’ is out now on all streaming platforms.
