Promcore duo Girl Crush Release new single about International Women’s Day ‘Blame Girls’
In the artist’s own words:
“We wrote the song at the same time as the Brett Kavanagh hearings. I kept looking at the comments on different videos and news stories, anything from Natalie Ratajawskiis Instagram to general news, and found the most ridiculous comments going as far as blaming girls for their pure existence. David had started this amazing beat and I started writing. The song is a celebration to women and an ironic punch to people who think less of us.”

New Release – ORKID “Lay Low”
