A powerful artist turning heads, Becky Krill is the type of role model you’d want your kids/future kids to look up to. The unforgettable star feels like the Alanis Morissette for the new generation, and her album ‘Little Girl’ states why. A coming of age release with layers of credibility and emotion, the ten-track album brings something new to the table with each track. There’s moments of hip-hop, electronica, indie and even folk-pop to convey Becky’s emotive themes, and we’re completely living for it.
Speaking about the lead single ‘Bubble’, Becky Krill shares, “I was very inspired by the Dixie Chicks when I sat down to write Bubble. I guess you could say this is my “shut up and sing” song. Bubble features Rootstock Republic on strings & noteworthy percussionist Allison Miller on drums. The song explores how our gender, race & overall identities can put us in harm’s way & encourages everyone (especially young women) to stand up to bullies, racists, chauvinists & oppressors of all kinds.”
Adding to how the track was made, Becky states, “I wrote Bubble at home alone on my guitar. I went into the studio the next day to record it with producer and recording engineer Craig Levy. Craig had some ideas/suggestions to streamline the lyrics and improve the melody, which I happily accepted. From there I got in touch with Juliette Jones (violin) and Jarvis Benson (viola) of Rootstock Republic to arrange and record the strings. Cellist Aaron Stokes also performed on the recording, along with drummer Allison Miller (toured with: Ani Difranco, Brandi Carlile, Natalie Merchant). Craig performed the bass, ukelele and banjo parts and I played guitar. Group effort.”
Little Girl is out now, ready for you to make it your new favourite album.
