bülow: Boys Will Be Boys

By Kerry Doole

bülow - Boys Will Be Boys (Wax Records /UMC): The Juno-winning, multi-platinum-selling electro-pop artist releases a new EP on October 4. and this is the first single from that record.


Her breathy vocals are placed over insistent and staccato beats, while the lyrics speak of defiance in the face of bad behaviour ("if you think I'm going to cry, you're delusional"). In a label press release, bulow explains that "the song is ironic. A ‘fuck you’ to old sayings that reinforce negative bullshit.”

Boys Will Be Boys was written by bulow and produced by Michael Wise [Ellie Goulding, James Blunt]. The track follows the artist’s summer track Get Stupid, off Crystalline released earlier this year.

bülow first burst onto the music scene with the release of EPs Damaged Vol. 1 & Damaged Vol. 2,  with the track Not A Love Song becoming a global hit. She has made noise on the international festival circuit, appearing at both the Electric Picnic and Reading Leeds festivals in Europe, as well as Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Osheaga, and SXSW in North America. Earlier this year, she accepted her first Juno Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year, joined The Chainsmokers as a feature on Do You Mean with Ty Dolla Sign, and performed on The Today Show.

Along with the upcoming new EP, bülow is gearing up to head back on the road with LAUV this fall for a string of US dates, in addition to headlining select shows across the country. First, she plays two shows this week in Germany (the country of her birth), in Berlin, on Sept. 18, and at Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg, Sept. 19. Tour dates here

Kesha Brings 'Holiday Road' to The Billboard Canadian Hot 100

The newly independent pop singer's cover of Lindsay Buckingham's 1983 song from National Lampoon's Vacation was first released as a Spotify exclusive for the holidays. Michael Bublé's Christmas, meanwhile, remains at No. 1 on the Canadian Albums chart.

Kesha has brought an under-appreciated holiday gem back to the charts. Her version of "Holiday Road" debuts on this week's Billboard Canadian Hot 100 (dated Dec. 28, 2024) at No. 83.

"Holiday Road" was originally released in 1983 by Fleetwood Mac legend Lindsey Buckingham and serves as the propulsive opening theme to the Chevy Chase-starting classic comedy road trip film National Lampoon's Vacation.
