WOTTS Continue to Reinvent Themselves In Pop With ‘Boy + Girl’

Canadian indie-pop band WOTTS has returned with their fresh single, 'Boy + Girl', from their latest EP ‘Good People, Bad People’

This track marks a shift in tone from the EP's first release, ‘Laundry', offering a stripped-down, introspective feel that draws listeners into its simplicity. The song leans into emotion and subtle instrumentals executed by their classic production style. Yet, despite the simplicity, the song still carries WOTTS' signature experimental flair, blending indie-pop and R&B elements that make their sound distinct.

Clocking in at a little under three minutes, ‘Boy + Girl’ is short and sweet, but its brevity works in the band’s favor. It’s the kind of track that leaves listeners wanting more, thanks to the production style leaning into a repetitive and psychedelic tone. The song opens with a French voicemail message, giving it a personal touch that sets the stage for a narrative of romantic disillusionment. As the singer’s voice enters, the listener is guided through the landscape of the frustration and resignation of the relationship. Lyrically, it plays with the familiar themes of love and heartbreak but does so in a way that feels fresh and relatable. The line, "You never say I’m right / Roll your eyes while I sing another love song," reflects the singer’s inner desire to let go.

WOTTS continues to demonstrate their ability to play with different sounds while maintaining a cohesive identity. This only shows us further why they are one of the most exciting bands on the Canadian indie scene today.

For fans of artists like Knox FortuneHOMESHAKE, and Dayglow, WOTTS offers a refreshing take on modern indie-pop that is a must listen. ‘Boy + Girl’ is a perfect example of their creative evolution. This track invites listeners to hit replay, exploring new sounds and energy with each listen. Catch the full track on Spotify and keep an eye out for the rest of their EP, ‘Good People, Bad People’, out now.
