The soundtrack to our Friday is from Brighton band Slung and their latest track ‘Class A Cherry’. 

‘Class A Cherry’ is another look into Slung’s debut album In Ways, out 2 May via Fat Dracula. This bass driven song weaves around power dynamics within sex work.

“This song was inspired by strippers, escorts and sex workers and the power dynamics that come with that profession. It’s told from the perspective of a woman weaponizing the male gaze that she must endure regardless, and advising others to use it for their own advantage.” 

Katie Oldham
