The track sees both artist at their most uncompromising and fierce.
Disillusioned and unsatisfied by the way that they have often been treated in the music industry, Tiger Darrow and Vaeda Black have pulled no punches in their searing and scorching new release ‘Boyz Club’.
Stacked full of creative alt-pop hooks and an boasting a focused, ice cold demeanor throughout, neither artist take any prisoners on the new single and feel as cutting edge as invaluable as ever. ‘Boyz Club’ is a rallying cry. A message that both artists, alongside countless others, are sick of putting up with shit and misogynistic double standards and behaviors. This is the work of two women who have found their voice in an industry that often tries to suppress it, and are no longer worried about the consequences of saying exactly what they think.
“With every passing year, I become more and more apprehensive towards working with men. I’ve found that the kindness and opportunity that is dangled in front of me by them is misleading and expecting.” Vaeda has said of the inspiration behind the track. “It was such a harsh reality check when I realized that their kindness was transactional and put me in situations that were dangerous. It’s exhausting to have every man you work with try something with you… I am so much more than my body. The music industry (and let’s not kid ourselves, the world) is a boy’s club. I want men to listen to this song and think about their behavior. I want women to listen and feel empowered; to set boundaries and never let a man make you question your worth.”
“I’ve had a man in the music industry invite me into his office and tell me “my boss says I always have the hottest artists in here,” (no, he didn’t mean musically speaking). I’ve had a man challenge me when I’ve offered to record my own vocals from home and ask what mic I use. He was shocked and embarrassed when I told him my vocal chain with great specificity.” Tiger has said.
“I used to be so gullible, so shy and polite to a fault. Fortunately, I’ve reached a point in my career where I truly have no problem calling men out on their shit, and that’s what Boyz Club is for me.”
