Artist: VALERIE THE VULTURE

Who: “Spawned in Detroit, MI, Valerie the Vulture is a femme-led garage rock band thrusting into the 2020’s with four-chord anthems celebrating the power of one real loud guitar and the unbreakable femme spirit reclaiming cock rock. Valerie the Vulture herself is the rock & roll alter-ego of Willa Rae Adamo, a backbone of the Detroit music scene and co-founder of Girls Rock Detroit.”

Pick: JAMES DEAN – debut single that “calls upon its iconic bad boy namesake and
coming-of-age imagery to tell the story of a girl who is mistaking sex for love.”

Score: This ebullient debut banger sounds exactly as the image many, if not all of us,
have of the late mythical actor James Dean. Racy, seductive, mysteriously attractive, cool and glamorous, magnetic and totally rock ‘n’ roll. But the poignant story of this track is actually more important than the tune itself as the narrator of the song reflects on rape culture and her own sexual assault. She wants to reclaim her space and power. This is a song with a crucial message! This is a song with a cause! This is a significant debut!
