'Erase the rules of pop. It would be my dream if radio was like, 'Wait, this is sick,' because it’s so different than everything that’s on the radio now. At the end of the day, I want everybody to like my music,' says RemiWolf.
The rising artist talks her new song"Liquor Store," her album in the works, and having John Mayer in her DMs.Remi Wolf appears on our Zoom call in a pink sweatshirt, a pink-and-white trucker hat—her thick brown curls spilling out from all sides—and pink oversized sunglasses covered in rhinestones. The rosy look is playful and humorous and fun, much like the singer’s usual wardrobe and her music.
Here, the singer, songwriter, and producer walks us through her writing process post-pandemic, where she gets her hats, and how her fans got the nickname “Remjobs” .I made the song back in late November, early December. I got sober this year during quarantine, so that was a major life event.
It was a very cathartic time for me. During the session, while writing the song, I was just sobbing. I could not stop crying, and it would be like, sob, sob, sob for maybe 20 minutes, then I’d be like, “Okay, I’m ready to write a verse.” And then I wrote the verse, and then I’d cry again or go outside. It was such a fuckin’ roller coaster of an experience, honestly. I feel like you can really hear it in the songwriting. And you can hear the emotion, which I’m really proud of.
I want people to feel like, if they’re going through that, I understand it, and I’m there with them and that they’re not alone. But if they don’t relate to it at all lyrically, I just want them to think it’s a fuckin’ banger. I want people to feel the bones and the meat in the song, because musically, I think it’s also a really strong song. I hope that, if nothing else, they’re like, “This slaps.”With every project I’ve done so far, it’s always been pretty piecemeal.
I think something that’s really important to me in my artistry is just constant experimentation. I think in all the past EPs, everything, every song has been its own experiment, and on this record, we just kept that same mentality all the way through. I want to push myself, I want to push my writing, and I want to push the soundscape and the sounds we’re able to use, the words I’m able to use, the vocal tone that I’m able to use.
I really valued that in the artists and musicians I listen to. I love it when I’m just completely transported, and just by listening to one song, I can have a completely different headspace. So I want my visuals and my songs to kind of provide that for people. And for me, I just love psychedelic colorful shit. So that’s just the way I’ve chosen to kind of go about it. It’s like an extension of myself and, like, my personality. I think we’re gonna make some really cool videos for this project.
