Molly Grace’s New Anthem: “F.E.M.M.E”
BY KATELYN SANDVIK
Molly Grace has done it again—last month, the singer-songwriter released “F.E.M.M.E,” an infectious, upbeat pop song that explores the difficulties of being a lesbian, and feeling stuck in the middle. The lyrics discuss dealing with the attention of interested men and women, and how society has such rigid expectations. “I don't understand why everyone's so mad at me, ooh, yes, uh (Ooh, wow) / I'm sorry I'm not sorry that I don't fit your fantasy / Doesn't everyone wanna be.” Even though society is pressuring Grace, here she confidently declares she will not apologize for who she is.
The initial feelings of confusion and frustration change into something positive and uplifting. Grace encourages listeners to stop conforming to others expectations and instead be their own unique selves. In the bridge she sings, “(Fabulous, enticing, magnetic, magical, everything) Don't have to prove a thing to any of them.”
Ultimately, this song is a bop not just because of its powerful message, but also because of the layers of sound. From the first couple beats and vocals, listeners are immediately drawn in and transported to another world. As the song continues, Grace skillfully layers different sounds to create an immersive, vibrant song that’s sure to have people obsessed.
On Valentines Day, Grace announced her new album, “Mad at Her Forever” will be released March 7th, and is available to pre save now. Her east coast tour, “But I’m A Pop Star!” started in January and will last until April, so make sure to check if she’s playing near you! Grace has also partnered with LIFEBEAT, a program part of the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, helping to fight for human rights and social justice among those affected by HIV and AIDS.
