GFOTY “Brand New Bra”
GFOTY is no longer affiliated with PC Music but her style remains garish and gleefully artificial in the grand PC Music tradition, complete with funhouse mirror versions of mainstream pop dynamics and gender performance. “Brand New Bra” is all vulgar camp, with her singing exclusively about having huge tits in ways that start off fairly run-of-the-mill but end up in more overtly goofy territory like proclaiming they make car honk sounds when you squeeze them. At the beginning it sounds like a song that’s going for “body positivity” but as it moves along it feels more like presenting the body as something inherently silly and weird, particularly in a world where some body parts end up being wildly commercialized and fetishized. I don’t think this song is pushing back on that so much as just having a laugh about it, like a horny cartoon turned into a song.
Buy it from Bandcamp.
