BOYS? A Trashy T shirt

Having first caught attention with her viral rendition of Don’t Fade on the Colors platform in 2017, she went on to rack up millions of streams on breezy & soulful tracks For Keeps and Growing as well as opening for Billie Eilish on her European tour. This isn’t a story of the global pandemic halting an artist’s momentum, though. If anything, the enforced pause gave JGrrey the chance to finally reckon with who she was as a person, a partner, a daughter, and an artist.

JGrrey is finally at a stage where pursuing music not only feels good again, it feels exciting. The next step is writing her debut album, citing storytellers like Biggie, Erykah Badu, and Tierra Whack as rule-breaking inspirations. “When I release my debut album I want to shed light on my experiences and my expectation of life,” she says. “If you listen to it you’d say ‘Yeah, that’s Jen.” Finally, the gap between JGrrey and Jen has been closed and she has the stories to tell.

Boys? is a song for the girls and the gays who hated school, PE, religious education, being told what to wear and what to do.

Boys? is an f you to every ex who made me feel shit about myself, any tiny man child that doesn’t have the emotional intelligence to articulate more than a desire to go to the pub on a Friday.

Boys just make you cry who needs them?

And I couldn’t of said it better myself. - JGrrey
