Sydney’s Girl Is The New Boy Drop Fashion Me A Drum, A Track That Feels Like Something Real
There’s no shortage of artists claiming to break the mould, but Sydney’s Girl Is The New Boy just quietly get on with it — and their new single Fashion Me A Drum is a reminder that subtlety still counts.
Penned by the collective’s creative lead, Circle, the track moves at its own pace — slow, steady, and deliberate. When the bass lands, it doesn’t demand attention. It settles in naturally, cool and unforced, like it was there all along.
Lyrically, it avoids the usual clichés. Instead, there’s a grounded quality in the writing — the kind that comes from lived experience. The outro line — “I will follow the beat, I will follow the drum, I will follow the sound” — plays more like a quiet refrain than a big hook. It lingers without overstaying its welcome.
Whether you’re mid-way through a night out or zoning out at home, Fashion Me A Drum meets the moment. It’s introspective without being self-indulgent, atmospheric without leaning on drama — a balance that’s harder to pull off than it looks.
Girl Is The New Boy aren’t in a rush to tell you who they are. They let the music do the talking — and that’s part of what makes it stick.
Fashion Me A Drum is out now on all major streaming platforms.
