Award-winning R&B, soul-dance meets electro-pop artist Your Girl Pho is nothing short of an icon. From her style to, most importantly, her sound and distinctive vocals, it’s no surprise she’s supported artists like Post Malone, played at Canadian Music Week, Music Matters Singapore, Festival Vaiven (Mexico), and most of Australia's major music festivals. Partnering with Berlin label Childhood Intelligence, Pho announces her debut album Fate So Wrong with a high-energy, fun, and ostentatious new track Fame Makes You Crazy


Produced by Grammy Award Winner Lyle Le Duff, who works with artists such as A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, Tory Lanez, and Earl Sweatshirt (to name a few), Fame Makes You Crazy is a track that “is supposed to be fun, energetic, pretentious and ridiculous. Exactly what the music industry can be.” shares Pho, continuing “I love how in the production there's this Snake 97 retro game like sound.” 


Written by Your Girl Pho, the release takes her signature combo of an upbeat and sharp dance instrumental with soulful, silky, and sassy vocals and completely soars with it to the next level. Making it very clear that behind the frills, nails, and blonde bob, there’s an artist who knows what’s up - and can execute it brilliantly. 


On the release Pho shares that “There isn't much depth in the lyrics, I was more having fun with melody and rhythm. It's mocking the music industry a little bit, the parties, the behaviours adopted, and the painfully obvious social climbing you encounter & feel yourself doing. "You wanna make a fame??" The empty promises made to me 2:30am in the greenroom by a promoter? an agent? Dj? Who are you again? Passionately sharing a treat on the back of their phone. All to be forgotten by the morning. It's all about who you know right?” 


As a predecessor to Fate So Wrong, listeners can expect more 909/808 soul-club hybrids, alongside late-night cozy chillers, and day-by-day music companions, Your Girl Pho revealing a poignant narrative throughout the LP that intertwines the pursuit of musical dreams with the quest for love and genuine connection.
