Brisbane's FELONY. returns with another big dose of spiky alt pop in 'Your New Girl'

Brisbane’s FELONY. returns with her brand new single in ‘Your New Girl’, bringing yet another dose of spiky alt pop from the backstreets of the Queensland capital.

The 17 year-old artist weaves social commentary straight from the eyes of Gen Z, blended with both nihilism and optimism, and melded into ridiculously catchy, cleverly-crafted pop. FELONY. creates a new soundtrack to this world that is raw, exposed to everything thanks to the internet.

Touching on drugs, sex, relationships, scandal, heartbreak and confusion, FELONY. ensures us that this is ‘just the beginning’ of what seems to be a long, exciting journey of catchy melodies and unapologetic lyrics to soundtrack all of our lives.

‘Your New Girl’ is a track that highlights ideas of self-comparison, fear, and anxiety, while also being packed with punch sarcasm and irony.

Packed full of frozen strings, and a bombastic indie-pop dance beat straight from the 1975 handbook, FELONY. evades the Healy-isms and Nepobaby brattiness, and offers something more genuine. ‘Your New Girl’ phases in and out of punchiness, and there’s definite hints of Sky Ferreira creeping in, with FELONY. knowing when to pull back enough to show a hint of vulnerability before exploding into a brash, confident chorus. It feels like a 17 year-old shouldn’t be making such a brilliantly pieced together alt pop track, yet, here we are.

FELONY. has been grabbing the attention of all the right people with her unadulterated spiky alt pop, and raw, honest lyricism, with the artist announced as showcasing at this year’s BIGSOUND event.

Speaking on what drives her creatively, FELONY. opens up and explains her own views are just the beginning.

‘I really have a focus on making honest music that speaks for my generation of young people; we’re the first group of people to be living in a completely digital age, yet it’s so new to humanity that no-one has a rulebook of how to navigate it yet,’ she says.

The track is just another piece of the puzzle in sculpting the FELONY. story

‘Your New Girl’ is out now on all streaming platforms, and expect more from FELONY. in the lead up to her BIGSOUND appearance.
