Meg Smith’s latest release is like the Olympics of pop powerhouses. Smith has updated her viral track, ‘Girls Just Wanna Be Famous’ by adding Molly Grace and MARIS, and cleverly renaming it to ‘Girls Just Wanna Be Famous(er)’.
The song is bursting with pop perfect energy, with sparkling production, horns and mesmerising harmonies. This scintillating track is levelled-up by the addition of Molly Grace and MARIS’ vocals, who each bring their own distinct sound to the song. Hints of indie-pop influences and theatrical undertones make it a very enjoyable track to listen to. Smith describes her sound as ‘Disco Opera’, a self-made sub-genre that perfectly sums up ‘Girls Just Wanna Be Famous(er)’. When listening to it, the listener is transported to a dance floor with a mirrorball glittering overhead and shimmering outfits all around.
An homage to Smith’s relationship with fame, the track draws on her determination and the tumultuous nature of being in the public eye. Lyrics such as “Oh, she’s pretty and broken / Miss almost Monroe” show the harsh reality of stardom and the toll that it can take on a person. However, in the next lines, “Her heart remains open / underneath her clothes”, Meg Smith is making a promise that, no matter how hard being famous can be, she will always stay true to herself.
Euphoric, glittery and irresistibly danceable, ‘Girls Just Wanna Be Famous(er)’ is the perfect song to twirl your worries away to. The song is out now and available to listen to on streaming services. Meg Smith has also just announced that she is joining Molly Grace on tour, starting in October.
