The new song follows “Main Character”
Rising R&B Pop star Chxrry (f/k/a Chxrry22) kicks off her next season with an infectious and irresistible new single entitled “Groupie” out now via XO/Republic Records.
On the love-drunk track, strings bring big energy to a sultry beat as Chxrry’s hypnotic vocals command attention right out of the gate. She flaunts her range on this one, leaning into the higher register of her voice and embodying infatuation with her delivery. The momentum builds towards a chantable chorus, and she admits, “I’m a superstar, but baby for you I’m a groupie.”
“‘Groupie’ is a conceptual portrayal of the intoxicating and irrational obsession that hits when you first like someone. The masked man represents desire itself – faceless because he could be anyone, he isn’t a person so much as a feeling. Around him, you’re both powerful and undone: the star everyone wants, but also the woman who craves to be wanted by him more than anything else,” she shares.
The song follows “Main Character,” which has bubbled up as a banger adopted by some of the most prominent women across culture. It has soundtracked posts courtesy of LaLa, Love Island winner Amaya Papaya, Chlöe Bailey, the Toronto Tempo, and Chicago Sky WNBA star Angel Reese.
This month, Chxrry wowed the audience during Essence GU Kickback and Creators House at The Fillmore New Orleans during the Essence Festival of Culture with a knockout performance of “Main Character.”
In February, she ignited this era with “Just Like Me.”
Asserting herself as a dynamic performer, she recently captivated sold-out crowds up and down the East Coast on the road with Flo during their Access All Areas Tour. Rema also invited her on stage in the middle of his headline show at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Chxrry also appeared on the biggest album of the year—The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow. She leaves the voicemail on “Reflections Laughing” featuring Travis Scott, Florence + The Machine. Additionally, she turns up on screen in the music video for “Cry For Me.”
