Matriarchy

Matriarchy is the sophomore studio album from alt-pop icon girli. It marks a rebirth for the celebrated, multi-faceted artist as she further explores her sound and takes full creative control, solidifying her place as a cult figure and ambassador for the next generation of LGBTQIA+ music. girli’s passions extend beyond music as she uses her platform to spark conversations about feminism, sexuality, identity, and mental health – topics that many have traditionally avoided. In today’s world, representation is more crucial than ever, and girli is prepared to challenge the status quo. Milly Toomey, also known as girli, has embarked on a journey of self-discovery, ultimately realizing that she cannot be confined to a box. Her strength lies in her vulnerability, with courage stemming from years of introspection, grappling with feelings of inadequacy and not fitting in. The North London native is committed to reshaping femininity into a bold and unrestrained form. The new music on Matriarchy follows girli’s 2023 EP, why am I like this, which features previously released singles such as “Cheap Love,” “Imposter Syndrome,” and “I Really F**ked It Up.”
