rlyblonde Shares New Single ‘Girl in Your Story’
rlyblonde, the project of Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist Carina Allen, shares her brand new single Girl in Your Story, a catchy pop-rock song.
Girl in Your Story finds the talented artist showcasing a more sincere and tender side to her artistry. While this dreamy rock ballad contrasts with her previous work, it still continues to expand on the themes of identity, femininity, and romance that she has long explored in both her music, photography, and videography. Apart from her lovely vocals, I am particularly fond of the soaring electric guitars, steady drum patterns and catchy rhythms that create an overall warm, empowering atmosphere.
Speaking about the song, rlyblonde said,
My artwork across various mediums has often played with ideas of female tropes and stereotypes. ‘Girl in Your Story’ continues that exploration of my own identity, through performance and by embodying these various characters. At the end of the day, behind every scorned woman is just a hopeless romantic. Nothing consumes quite like a crush...and while it was devastating to realize my tendency to fantasize was not limited to men, it was also a very affirming moment in my queer journey to realize I could imagine my life with another woman.
Girl in Your Story arrives hand-in-hand with a storybook music video that paints a picture of a young romantic lead longing for a romance that may or may not really exist. The video was produced and directed by rlyblonde through her new production company, HOT CREATIVE (@rlyhotcreative).
