girlpuppy has announced her second album ‘Sweetness’, set for release on 28th March 2025 via Captured Tracks, alongside sharing new single ‘I Just Do!’.
The new album from Atlanta-based Becca Harvey follows 2022’s ‘When I’m Alone’ and explores the aftermath of a four-year relationship. The record pairs Harvey’s vocals with rock-inspired instrumentals, featuring contributions from Horse Jumper of Love’s Dimitri Giannopoulos, The War on Drugs’ Dave Hartley, and Beach Fossils’s Tommy Davidson.
“I wrote this song after spending 6 days in Los Angeles with a guy I had an all consuming crush on,” Harvey says of ‘I Just Do!’. “It’s just about that feeling of knowing you’re wasting your time by developing feelings for someone who is completely emotionally unavailable, but you do it anyway because it feels good. I wrote this entire song and then recorded a voice note of me singing it acapella in my bathtub (where I get lots of inspiration for songs). I brought it to Alex [Farrar] and he built the instruments around the melody I wrote and it turned out so much fun. This is definitely gonna be my favorite song to play on tour.”
The single arrives with a video directed by Trent Wayne, who explains: “Becca and I created this vampire-themed video as a playful ode to forbidden love, with a healthy dose of camp. Drawing inspiration from the late David Lynch, Pee-wee’s Playhouse, and the charm of Johnnie To’s early 2000s Hong Kong rom-coms. In the story, a vampire hunter hunk crashes a rainbow-hued house party, where a vampire finds herself drawn to him.”
