NYC-based indie-pop artist, Birch, is a force to be reckoned with, and after you take a listen to her newest single, “Spelling Lessons,” you’ll be hooked and empowered!
The moniker for musician and producer Michelle Birsky, Birch crafts music that fervently deconstructs social norms – something we here at TDL passionately strive for! Branding her music as “feminist synthpop,” Birch is not afraid to use her voice, and “Spelling Lessons” is proof of that sentiment.
A tale of one’s first experiences with sexist behavior, “Spelling Lessons” delves into a time when the singer was taught that girls exist FOR boys rather than WITH them.
“I was in 6th grade and I bent over in the library to grab a book. My shirt rode up a bit showing part of my back and the librarian standing nearby chastised me telling me, “Young lady, your back is showing. I won’t have you in here distracting the boys.” I was shocked, confused and embarrassed,” she shared.
“Spelling Lessons” is set to be featured on Birch’s forthcoming album, femme.one, out April 5.
