It is easy to feel ashamed by your roots if others are quick to judge. Growing up in a highly religious town, upbringings that were unconventional could be sometimes looked down on. Though Girl Wilde grew up in that environment, she is still proud of her background. In her latest single “Playboy’s Daughter” she fiercely sings of her life being different from most. With organic sounds of compelling acoustic guitar and heavy drums, the hard-hitting track packs a punch. Her raspy vocals passionately sing, “I’m not a nice girl, with a preacher father/ I’m a fucking nightmare, I’m a playboy’s daughter.” In her lyric video she is stunningly lit up by a disco ball creating a dreamy, psychedelic feel. There is something so intoxicating about that rich, glowing imagery.
The Los Angeles -based singer-songwriter’s aim with her releases is to become a voice for the voiceless. Through her powerful music she sheds a light on her deepest insecurities, making her songs so relatable to listeners. The singer reveals, “My mom and dad met while my mom was a stripper and my dad was a playboy. For most of my life I was trained by my surroundings to feel like it’s something I shouldn’t be proud of. But the reality is, that’s my origin story. I’m proud to have grown up in a family that was out of the ordinary."
