After a year of viral icicle reviews, connecting with queer community, and putting out nonstop bangers, Montreal TikTok queen Maryze has blessed us with yet another summer bop. "FBP (Female Brad Pitt)" is a glittery hyper pop anthem, expressing the pandemic malaise we've collectively been trying to overcome while simultaneously battling the sexist internet trolls who tried to take her down. The track was produced by Margo, another Also Cool friend and talented creator.
The FBP demo went viral earlier this year when Maryze posted a clip on TikTok and received hundreds of sexist and misogynistic comments from male "producers" saying how women can't write music and don't deserve equal pay. On the flip side, the queer community and women musicians celebrated the song as an iconic bop and demanded its release. A song first inspired by pandemic depression shopping sprees, chock-full of early aughts references, has become a defiant middle finger to the patriarchy.

If that wasn't enough to lift you out of your end-of-summer-sadness, the track is accompanied by a Y2K-themed music video. The video has a nostalgic pizza-party-with-your-best-friends-vibe while still encapsulating a very queer, bratty, and bedazzled energy. It features a ton of Also Cool pals, including co-founder Malaika Astorga, NGL Flounce, and Janette King, Matante Alex, and Margo, to name a few.
