Atlanta-based singer-songwriter girlpuppy (Becca Harvey) signs with Captured Tracks and shares new single/video ‘Champ’ – a look into forthcoming sophomore album, a highly anticipated follow up to her 2022 full-length debut When I’m Alone.
‘Champ’ is a heavy hitter that’s full of guitars and girlpuppy is ready to fight for a friendship that is down for the count. girlpuppy shares the following about ‘Champ’:
‘It’s happening again, you don’t want to be my friend’ is about once again going through a random friend breakup and never knowing why. It’s basically a plea that no matter how much this friend ignores me and shows me that they don’t want me in their life, I still try because I loved our friendship.”
The accompanying music video is directed by Benni Shumlin and Augie Voss.
“The idea for the ‘Champ’ music video came super easily for me. ‘Champ’ is all about feeling like a loser in a friendship you so desperately want to save. I bought the boxing shorts with ‘girlpuppy’ embroidered on them on Etsy months before we filmed the video, because I knew I’d want the video to be boxing themed. Benni and Augie had a perfect treatment for it and it was so fun getting to work with them. I also recruited my friend Chris Black from my favourite podcast How Long Gone to play my deadbeat coach, my bestie Merian from the band Suzy Clue to play my formidable opponent, my partner, Miles, to play her hot shot coach, and our friend Zack to play the ref. I also had plenty of my friends to play spectators in the crowd around the ring. It was so fun to work with all of my friends and get all fake bloody and get a nice workout in.”
