Zoe Graham has released her new single ‘Good Girl’.
The single comes alongside the announcement of her debut album ‘TENT’, due out on 21st March.
The announcement comes alongside new single ‘Good Girl’, an introspective track about being denied the affection of another woman, and traded in for a man. The song lilts on the clockwork of a Leslie Wizard Organ drum machine accompanied by a dog-like vocal hook and bow brushed guitars. The setting is minimal, and understated before opening up into an ethereal Kate Bush-esque wilderness.
Speaking of the single, Zoe said: “We all on some level have a need to feel loved. But sometimes in the heat of a moment our actions can lead us to be undesirable. This song is about wanting to be vulnerable with someone while being endlessly worried about what they really think of you. It’s easy to become hyper self aware, constantly checking yourself, worried if you said or did the wrong thing, or if you look the wrong way. Sometimes for queer people, like me, this can also inflame a feeling of internalised homophobia. It can be weird and heartbreaking to navigate a connection with someone who fundamentally just doesn’t bat for the same team as you. Somehow you can lose sense of who you thought you were, any shred of confidence can disappear. Slowly all you start to think about is how cool or appealing you are. Then you realise you’re neither of those things because you think about them too much.”
‘Good Girl’ is undoubtedly a deeply relatable release for many, rooted in vulnerability, with poignant lyrics that explore the complexities of love, identity, and self-discovery.
