“Boyfriend's feminist values are equally as present in her songs as they are in the media figures she's inspired by.”

“Between rap and pop, Boyfriend feels at home, and she does a great job with both.”


The next taste of Boyfriend’s upcoming highly-anticipated debut album is a modern hyper-pop makeover of No Doubt’s iconic “Just A Girl.” Feeding into the ethos of her artistry, this song has been a jab at gender norms since it was first released in the mid-nineties. With Boyfriend’s rock meets hyper-pop stylings, the song is given a new air of playful defiance. “Just A Girl” is available today on all DSPs and streaming platforms.


“Ever since I started doing music I’ve been told to release cover songs, (usually by some industry person convinced that’s what would make me a star, cue eye roll) but as a songwriter, I always wanted to put my words out into the world, not someone else’s,” says Boyfriend on covering No Doubt. She continues, “But ‘Just A Girl’ already perfectly says what I want to say, as it does pirouettes on the razor’s edge of satire where I, as a songwriter, love to balance and dance.”

Sugar & Spice will be released in its entirety on September 9, seeing the New Orleans-based artist accompanied by a spectacular array of her favorite femme collaborators including longtime musical associate Big Freedia, TikTok star Bailey Flores, Los Angeles-based psych outfit Death Valley Girls, and more. The album also includes big-name production from Gold Glove (Slayyyter, Big Freedia), Little Shalimar (Run The Jewels, Trixie Whitley), KC Da Producer (Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, T.I.), and Not A Friend (Gia Woods). 


Prior to today’s release, Boyfriend released the debaucherous “Dance With the Devil” featuring Pussy Riot, which debuted at #30 on the SubModern charts. Soon to be released, fans can expect a depraved masterpiece of a music video co-directed by Pussy Riot co-founder Nadya Tolokonnikova and visual artist Yulia Shur, with an appearance from legendary model/performance artist Amanda Lepore. Also off of Sugar & Spice, Boyfriend has released her and Big Freedia’s rework of the riot grrrl classic “Deceptacon” and the album’s title track featuring Pyra
