JGreyy Wonders If We Even Need "Boys?"

JGreyy Wonders If We Even Need "Boys?"


May 31, 2023

JGreyy reminds us why she has such a devoted and loyal fan base with her latest drop "Boys?". The topic of discussion is as, the hooks puts it, "boys just make you cry/who needs em?", blasting the boys who've patronised, wronged, and generally got on the wrong side of her. JGreyy's relatability has proven to be her artistic superpower, striking a chord with listeners through her vulnerability and honesty, and "Boys?" plays to that strength perfectly.

Explaining the track, she says: "'Boys?' is a song for the girls and the gays who hated school, PE, religious education, being told what to wear and what to do. 'Boys?' is an F you to every ex who made me feel shit about myself, any tiny man child that doesn't have the emotional intelligence to articulate more than a desire to go to the pub on a Friday."

The rock-infused track is produced by Owen Cutts who channels the frustration and pent-up anger that JGreyy indulges in by countering minimalist moments with siren sounds, booming bass and electric guitar bursts.

"Boys?" joins March's soulful, Kojey Radical-assisted cut "May" and January's "Theirs13". After taking some time away from the music game, it seems that she's back to reclaim her spot as a darling of the underground.
