I might be all loved up and married now, but my inner teen is still in there embracing angry female music. I think most of us have been in the wrong relationship where we felt like being the cool chick made us a doormat. Nicole McKinney rails against it in her powerful new single, “Cool”.
“This song is about female empowerment, inspired by the day I decided to take back my power and leave my boyfriend at the time,” she explained. “I finally realised what I deserved and no longer cared about being the “cool” girlfriend who just puts up with everything.”
And in case you’re wondering, getting all that frustration out at Huntinground Studios felt pretty damn good!
“I very much enjoyed the recording process for the track,” Nicole added. “It was really fun and creative. I also got to add some yelling which was very cathartic!”
After recently supporting Great Gable in Byron, Nicole has just been announced on the lineup for the Jungle Love Music and Arts Festival, which hits Jimna on September 2 to 4. Expect to hear much more about her as the year goes on.
