"LA-based NYC native" Bad W0lfy [ti]http://www.twitter.com/badw0lfy[/ti] has a BRILLIANT new single called 'Used 2 This', which you could probably add to a playlist alongside FKA Twigs, PC Music and Britney without committing any curation crimes.
We last wrote about Bad W0lfy when she was one half of Wrathschild and she seems like a bit of a superstar-in-waiting, really. Like, you can imagine quite easily how with the right team around her she's probably only two or three right decisions away from being a Tumblrpop icon with strangers shouting "YAAAAS" at her a lot.
Anyway, 'Used 2 This' is very good.
In the name of investigative journalism we asked Bad W0lfy what the song's about.
She told us that it concerns:
- Being you plus an alien in one.
- (And learning to love the skin you're in.)
- A rebirth.
- Self-surveying.
- Gender fluidity.
- Millennial expressionism.
- Unification, I hope.
- Deception.
- Pop to bop to.
She adds that the song's also about "getting into a relationship with yourself like you would with another, and feeling super awkward in your body and liking it"; in terms of influences she adds that she's "a 90s kid with a die hard love for 80s sounds, influenced by new wave, punk, a little soul and a lot of Boney M, Max Martin and the Swedish pop gods, forever and always my Soviet Russian roots, nature, robots, aliens, and magic".
There's a whole album on the way, which is extremely good news, but for the time being 'Used 2 This' is on Spotify and Apple Music and iTunes, so there you go.
