Alt-pop songstress returns with relentless new single.

 

We’ve been missing Actor for far too long. It feels like a lifetime ago that she knocked us back with Uppercut, so we are beyond excited for her latest single – the driven alt-pop of Girls Do.

Channeling a sense of Chvrches spliced with a fuzzy take on modern pop, Girls Do is the kind of comeback single that most artists dream of. Bringing in some “outsider sarcastically longing for the mainstream” vibes to sit comfortably atop the relentless drum rhythms. The end result is dramatic, melodic and a breath of fresh air to break up the polished bubblegum pop many artists are happy to produce. Actor proves herself both universally appealing and appropriately unique, combining the best of everything into three minutes of joy.
