Brighton-based queer alt-pop duo COWZ return with a new single that is glitter-bombing all over our desks with hyper-pop brattitude. ‘La La Like You’ comes as the first taster of their upcoming EP You’re Into This, which is set for release on 5th November.
‘La La Like You’ is a sassy, brassy and euphoric sonic rainbow with a side of punk (fans of Charli XCX stay close), whilst also calling out all the performative male ‘feminists’.
“La La Like You” is 100% for type B girls – ‘I’m not a barbie, I’m a brat, nothing classy, I’m a rat’. No shade to clean cut girls you get it but I don’t think we will ever be this way and we like being a little messy, it’s a form of expression. Myself and Saga are both neuro-divergent and love Kesha and the Tumblr 2015 aesthetic.” -COWZ
“La La Like You is ALSO expressing your passion for equality and calling out slimy men in the bridge – ‘I hate the men who claim they’re feminists, I hate the bro-code that’s accepted’ – for clarification – we want men to be feminists, but they’re not feminists and actually just performative if they’re still pretending to un-hear allegations about their mate because they don’t want to believe it.” –Tasha, COWZ
“Also the other thing is, this song is also just to say that sometimes you just don’t get on with someone or don’t particularly like them and you don’t have to engage with them it’s okay diva. Production wise, this is a super fun hyper-pop vibe with synths and distorted bass with the addition of really sophisticated strings. The strings add quite a lot and make it a little different and another element of interest” –Saga, COWZ
