RudeGRL & CC Release “Living My Best Life” Album

RudeGRL & CC’s rule-breaking Power Pop, Punk Hop finds strength in letting go and letting loose through an energetic union of rapid-fire Rap, twanging Surf guitar, fuzz-soaked bass and ‘80s Industrial beats awash with euphoria. Connecting singer-songwriter and prodigious MC Jenna Dickens aka RudeGRL, multi instrumentalist Chris Constantinou (The Wolfmen / The Mutants / Adam Ant) and burlesque star Bunni Morretto, this trio of self-described outsiders share a mutual love of Punk and a burning desire to get things off their chest. The urgency of the group’s sound mirrors their production style; quick, fluid and instantly gratifying. The trio have today released their new full length, Living My Best Life, via Network Music.

For their latest work producer James Young sent Chris Constantinou a multitude of beats and rhythms to jam with, whilst Chris built up the tracks with bass and guitars, throwing the songs back and forth as they started to take shape and form. At this stage, Jenna Dickens starts to find the right words and melodies to fit the tracks, whilst Chris adds backing vocals and other embellishments, before James mixes each track to its best potential. It’s a team effort that has led to RudeGRL & CC most unrestricted work yet. Whilst the music displayed on Living My Best Life is gloriously unfiltered and untamed, over-flowering with invention and energy, the lyrics crafted by Jenna equally match the positivity of the sound.

“I wanted to create an album full of back-to-back smashes, in your face catchy melodies and empowering full throttle lyrics. For the lyrics I wanted to make them empowering and something I could listen to to get my mind set ready to smash the day. ‘Coming For The Win’ in particular was written in a time where I was juggling a bunch of stress with the events company me and Bunni run (an Award Winning queer women of colour striptease experience called JuiceBox Events), being at the intersection of being women in business as well as queer and black Caribbean heritage comes with its hurdles to jump and I think some of that absolute determination to break barriers regardless of push back made its way into the song. The message is to hold on to firm belief in yourself to honour your power and pour it into your passion regardless of what anyone else thinks.” (Jenna Dickens)
