With their debut album, MY APOLOGIES TO THE CHEF, set to arrive on February 14, Winona Fighter has unleashed their new single, pondering the question, “R U Famous.”
Frontwoman Coco Kinnon shares, “’R U Famous’ is about someone who always tries to see what they can get out of people doing well in their music career. I think the term is called a ‘starfucker’ but I don’t think you can say that in an article haha! But that’s seriously what it’s about. It’s a situation I think unfortunately happens to a lot of up and comers, and something that has happened to us via a person we thought was a friend.”
She adds regarding the accompanying music video, “We’ve always said ‘if we REALLY start leaning into a Y2K aesthetic then that’s how you’ll know we’re just going for a money grab.’ So what better way to represent a slimy person than to be that money grab! We’re All Gonna Die productions did an amazing job at really bringing our Tony Hawk Pro Skater aesthetic to life. We had so much fun being a couple of Y2K bros for the day but I’m okay never wearing low rise pants ever again…. like ever.”
