Or maybe, like us, you just heard about it from everyone you know who went to Coachella this year where Dom Dolla closed the closed out the Sahara tent to a full capacity crowd, and the Outdoor Theatre alongside John Summit as Everything Always, Dom. Either way, we have eagerly been awaiting the chance to unleash ‘girls$’ on the earholes of the world and finally that day has come.
As you’d expect from a Dom Dolla festival-ready banger, the best way to describe this one is simply: anthemic. The vocals are saucey the chorus is addictive and the beat is spicy. What more do you want?
“girl$ was inspired by a conversation I had with a bunch of friends who were all tired of bad dates… and had eventually come to the conclusion they were giving up on the whole charade,” Dom says. “In ‘24 we have so much choice. Nobody is limited by who they want to love or spend time with… whether that’s a guy, girl, or even just relish in their own company.”
“I wrote the lyrics based upon a story a friend relayed to me about a wild night out she had. I recorded it and heavily affected my vocals, but felt it needed a strong female performance, so I reached out to my good pal Caitlin Stubbs and asked if she was keen to re-perform the vocal, her voice is fantastic and suits the record so well. I even left some crumbs of my vocal in there too. I hope you all enjoy the record as much as I enjoyed making it.”
Buy/stream girls here and stay tuned for more from Dom ahead of his Aus tour at the end of the year!
