Girlhood Announce New Single “The Love I Need”

London duo Girlhood return with the new single “The Love I Need”. The Love I Need is the first taster from Girlhood’s debut album - the first song written and last song to be finished for the album. It finally came together in the penultimate few days of mixing the record at the tail end of 2019. The result is a gospel and blues tinged explosion of cut and paste joy which Tessa describes as being about how "we're rooted in our need to communicate, understand and be understood. This is the love I need."

Taking cues from Fugees, late 80s hip hop and The Avalanches and 90’s neo-soul the pair record and produce their music on the aforementioned narrowboat, bringing a distinctly British setting to their worldly and diverse range of influences. Girlhood’s debut album is set to be released this Summer via Team Talk Records.

Girlhood met in early 2017 on a bucolic summer’s evening in East London. Tessa Cavanna was strolling past Christian Pinchbeck’s narrow boat moored on the banks of the Regent’s Canal. Her voice caught the ear of Christian who immediately hopped of the boat and persuaded her to record a song then and there in his makeshift narrow boat studio. They clicked immediately and, after working through the night, they had a batch of songs that would become their debut EP, released on Team Talk Records in 2018. Plaudits followed with the track “Bad Decisions” being made Radio 1’s (UK) Introducing track of the week, lots of play from the likes of Lauren Laverne at 6 Music and 1Xtra and performances at Latitude, Visions and Iceland Airwaves.
