Hit musical Songs for Slutty Girls releases tracks on Apple Music and Spotify
Songs for Slutty Girls, the hit musical by New York-based composer and lyricist Kailey Marshall, is releasing five tracks on Apple Music and Spotify.
The show received its UK premiere at The Other Palacein June 2024, starring Charlotte Jaconelli (Hips), Dominique Roberts (Head), Emily Ooi (Heart), and Xenoa Campbell-Ledgister (Gut).
Songs for Slutty Girls explores the ecstasy, pain, and hilarity of sex through a year in the life of one woman, represented by four aspects of her personality: Heart, Gut, Head and Hips. At the start of a New Year, she hopes to make some big changes. Will she succeed or fall back into faking orgasms and flirting with f*** boys? The show’s pop/rock score gives voice to the sexual moments in our lives that define us, for better or worse.
Noise, which is available to stream now, is performed by the company and is about disappointing encounters in sex and love. Fine, performed by Charlotte Jaconelli, will be released on Friday 15 August. The song follows the proudly, perpetually single girl as she falls in love for the first time.
Other tracks from the show will be released on Friday 12 September. Imperfections, performed by Xenoa Campbell-Ledgister, sees the protagonist panic about her perceived imperfections while waiting to hear back from last night’s date; Sex is Scary, performed by the company, follows every girl’s downward spiral after a night of unprotected sex, while Bad Men, also performed by the company, examines consent, power, and ownership of the narrative within sexual encounters.
Kailey Marshall creates queer, femme forward, pop-infused musical theatre. Marshall’s work has featured at 54 Below, Joe’s Pub, Don’t Tell Mama’s, the Highline Ballroom, and Lincoln Center.
She said: “Working with the London cast was one of the greatest moments of my career thus far, so I’m SO HAPPY that we got to immortalize their incredible work within this EP. I’m hopeful that having these songs out in the world will bring Slutty Girls to new listeners and help them feel seen within their sexual escapades, or just give them something to bop to on the bus or the car or even as they pregame before a date.”
Songs for Slutty Girls is produced by Dominique Roberts and Marlo Kane.
