Your Girl Pho releases new single 'Surrender' + music video

“Your Girl Pho has her own thing going on and it’s a damn good thing if you ask me” – Declan Byrne, triple j

“Welcome Your Girl Pho as she joins the upper echelon of Western Australian talent, and commences her journey to becoming a fully-fledged national name” – Pilerats

“An extremely impressive cross-genre offering that will leave you gobsmacked” – Acid Stag

“Your Girl Pho’s impressive vocal skills and captivating energy make for an entertaining track and should lead to unforgettable live performances” – EARMILK

Perth based artist Your Girl Pho releases ‘Surrender’ – her first single since signing with Melbourne tastemaker label Daily Nightly. Its accompanying music video has also been released today.

Switching it up from her signature electro-pop energy, ‘Surrender’ shows a softer side of Your Girl Pho, stripping her sound down to a lo-fi, neo-soul setting with an infusion of 90s hip-hop.

“This is an ode for the people who let love go and who won’t surrender to another. I’m singing to a person who has had their walls up, and holds a strong front – having a past of not letting anyone in,” says Phoebe on the track.

However laxed the vibes on Surrender, Pho’s signature sass and contemporary approach to lyricism isn’t wasted. Beginning a verse with ‘so….um’, a common phrase she uses in her songwriting that snaps her back to reality and lets the listener know she’s about to speak her truth.

Your Girl Pho has a ‘je ne sais quoi’ and a contagious vibrancy that is exactly what we all need in 2020.
