    Girli's Spark Is Legally Blonde

    Girli's Spark Is Legally Blonde

    Singer/songwriter Girli started watching the classic Reese Witherspoon movie Legally Blonde as a small child and loved that it embraced a traditionally girlie femininity while still embraces feminist principles like the right to self-determination and self-sufficiency. Legally Blonde mostly adheres to a romantic comedy structure and Girli loved that the romance wasn't between two people, but rather between the lead character Elle Woods and herself.
    Girli's new album Matriarch is out now!

    Maya Hawke's Spark is The Bacchae

    Hawke first became aware of Euripides, expectedly, in school. As a teen, she appeared in a high school production of The Bacchae, and she's been absolutely entranced by the work ever since.
