Boorloo (Perth) songwriter EDIE has made a name for herself through biting back at the misogyny that lurks all around, and now she’s turning the camera around to the girls who take part in tearing each other down in her newest single, ‘Girl’s Girl’, out now.
‘Girl’s Girl’ has that signature EDIE bite with its toe-tapping electric basslines and its catchy drum loops, with EDIE’s strong voice helping the lyrics to stand out and be heard. This tune is versatile and addictive, the kind of song that can be listened to as a background track or really heard with the meaning of it raining down.
This song isn’t afraid to call out those who aren’t a ‘Girl’s Girl’— Girl’s girls lift each other up and aren’t afraid to call out misogyny, even when it’s coming from another woman. As such, this song is a softer side to EDIE’s usually cutting discography, a song more sad than angry. When a man is sexist, it’s half-expected, but the friendly fire of a girl turning her back on another girl feels like a betrayal. EDIE says,
“‘Girl’s Girl’ is about the girls who just don’t support other girls! The ones who say they are there for you but then stab you in the back. And the ones who say “I’m one of the boys” or “I don’t hang out with girls, they’re too much drama!” I am exhausted with it! Let’s all support each other and lift each other up!”
