The track is characterised by delicate acoustic guitar and Brenda Corijn's poignant vocals, creating a finely balanced interplay of pride and melancholy. Brenda explains the song's inspiration: "During an interview I did with my mother for a theatre production, I had to ask her whether she was jealous of me. She replied, 'Jealous isn't the right word, but I would like to be that which you are.' Her words have stuck with me and resonate in this song, Orgulho, which means 'proud.'"
Jane Inc. began as both a product of lockdowns and a statement of liberation. The pandemic-spawned project has allowed its CEO -Toronto-based artist Carlyn Bezic-to present a more stylistically promiscuous, lyrically provocative identity separate from her collaborative pursuits in the U.S. Girls universe, reinventing this seasoned indie axe-slinger as an all-seeing art-pop auteur equally enamored with electro-disco and bossa nova, like a DIY Madonna who never left the Danceteria.
Toni Cornell, daughter of late Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell, has released the new song "Campari," the latest stand-alone single from the young singer-songwriter (stream below). Upon first listen, "Campari" gives off vibes of M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" and Lorde's "Royals." A press release describes the song as "a slow-burn with a propulsive chorus that fuses eloquent penmanship with glittering art-pop."
