Gigi Wilde shares a lush Indie anthem “becky” ahead of incoming EP
With her latest single “becky,” released on May 14, Gigi Wilde delivers a shimmering, emotionally charged indie-pop gem that captures the thrill and uncertainty of queer attraction. As the third offering from her forthcoming EP, Life at the Kitchen Table, the track showcases Wilde’s ability to blend expansive production with intimate storytelling.
“becky” opens with atmospheric instrumentation that gradually builds into a vibrant soundscape, allowing Wilde’s vocals—tinged with lo-fi fuzz—to take center stage. Her voice navigates the song’s dynamic shifts with ease, conveying a range of emotions that resonate deeply. The track’s catchy hooks and rhythmic brilliance make it an instant addition to any summer playlist.
Lyrically, “becky” delves into the complexities of unrequited love within queer narratives. The lyrics and overall messaging of the song is pure gold, downright begging the listener to go back for a second listen to really connect all the dots.
The song instantly becomes an anthem for the ambiguity that comes with attraction in queer experiences, further solidifying Wilde’s place in the genre. Though you really do have to give it to the whole band on how they bend sound, genre, and overall style. It’s not polished by any means, but the roughness and rigidness looming in the background does an excellent job of piquing your interest. They’ve created this wall of sound effect that does such fun work in perfecting those textures and depth that the song never stops showing off.
“becky” not only stands as a testament to Gigi Wilde’s artistic growth but also sets the stage for what promises to be an evocative and resonant EP. As summer unfolds, this track is poised to become a soundtrack for those navigating the exhilarating complexities of love and identity.
We are so ready for an entire EP sounding similar to this, but in the meantime, we urge you to listen, check out the rest of the singles, and of course to follow along in order to stay tuned for more!
