For the class of 2009, Pop music meant something quite different as Indie artists dominated the charts, it was in this time where artists like Kate Nash, Lily Allen and Regina Spektor prospered and created a new type of Indie music.
The spoken word style verse and vocal chorus of their music made the stories they had to tell extremely easy to understand and gave us a choruses full of joy to sing out loud in the car.
Rebecca is a spiritual successor to those pioneers and gives us a 2020 taste of how this genre has flourished.
Using humour, tongue-in-cheek lyrics and self-deprecating anecdotes, Rebecca Levy has proven her popularity, reaching a million Spotify streams not long after her debut release.
However, keen to pass the Bechdel test this time, Rebecca’s latest release ’This Song Is Not About Boys’ combines this style with a 00s Pop/Punk splash, having a jab at the fact that this so far nameless female-led Indie sub-genre usually tells stories of love and loss, effectively deconstructing expectations and all the while still managing to be a party anthem with impressive vocals.
The chanting backing vocals remind us of yet another girl power era when Avril Lavigne was out stealing boyfriends and Gwen Stefani was reminding us how to spell bananas, it is a pop trope that proves popular time and time again.
The sky’s the limit and the stars beyond as Rebecca firmly takes her place amongst the newest lineup of empowering female stars such as Natassja Shiner (Fickle Friends), Anastasia Walker (Bang Bang Romeo) and Heather Baron-Gracie (Pale Waves).
