Today, alt-pop innovator girli returns with new single ‘2 Year Itch’ – the lead track from the deluxe edition of her 2024 boundary defying album Matriarchy. Matriarchy: Queen Edition is a bright, evocative, and insightful record that sees the celebrated, multi-faceted artist take the reins with full creative control and is available on November 8th. 

Inspired by the Marilyn Monroe film ‘7 Year Itch’, ‘2 Year Itch’ is a tribute to relationship commitment and finding the one person who alters the way that you think about long-term relationships. Brimming with introspection, the track feels futuristic as well as nostalgic, with hints of mellow mid-00’s electronic running through it.

 In her own words, girli explains: “I wrote ‘2 Year Itch’ about my fear of commitment. For a long time, all my relationships seemed to end after two years, but then I met someone who changed that, making my fear of long-term love disappear. I wanted to reference the 7 Year Itch because I connected with that idea—just on a smaller scale.”

Her sophomore album “Matriarchy” is an exploration of queer identity and womanhood, cementing girli as a leading voice in the LGBTQIA+ community. Recently named one of GRAMMY.com’s 2024 Rising LGBTQIA+ Artists, girli continues to expand her influence on the alt-pop landscape. Praised by  The Fader, AS IF Magazine, Bust Magazine, and Billboard  staying “..Matriarchy is absolutely essential.” The album includes standout tracks like “Crush Me Up”—a vivid ode to infatuation—and the post-breakup anthem “Nothing Hurts Like a Girl.” The title track, “Matriarchy,” serves as a fearless rallying cry, showcasing girli unfiltered expression of empowerment and vulnerability.

Earlier this year girli also recently launched her unique interactive online experience the girliverse, allowing special insights into the world of Matriarchy and some of girli’s favorite music and cultural references. From a library room containing books that girli is currently reading, to pictures of some of her favorite LGBTQIA+ figures adorning the walls, the girliverse offers a truly unique experience for fans to engage with girli like no other. 

Beyond music, girli has long used her platform to spark conversations on feminism, sexuality, identity, and mental health, boldly addressing topics often left unspoken. Her commitment to representation and inclusivity remains at the heart of her artistry as she continues to rewrite the rules for a new generation of alt-pop.
