Los Angeles-based pop visionary Evalyn has unveiled her intoxicating new single “Boys Girls”—a shimmering, nostalgia-drenched anthem for anyone who’s ever fallen down the rabbit hole of an ex’s Instagram feed. The track, out now across all platforms, serves as the latest preview of her forthcoming album A Quiet Life, a deeply personal 13-track exploration of modern anxiety, transformation, and the chaotic beauty of impending motherhood.
A Pop Alchemist’s Evolution
With over 130 million Spotify streams and collaborations with electronic heavyweights like Louis the Child, Dillon Francis, and Jai Wolf, Evalyn has spent a decade refining her signature blend of emotional candor and dance-floor euphoria. Her 2018 breakthrough Salvation—a psychedelic pop odyssey recently re-released with new material—established her as an artist unafraid to mine her own turbulence for cathartic bangers.
Now, with A Quiet Life, she pushes further into experimental territory. Inspired by the glitchy soundscapes of Aphex Twin and Grimes, the album mirrors the dissonance of contemporary life: the nausea of endless scrolling, the vertigo of identity shifts, and the surreal stillness of creating life while feeling spiritually untethered. “I recorded most of it while pregnant,” Evalyn reveals. “It’s about surrendering to the noise in your head—and the quiet that follows.”
“Boys Girls”: A Nostalgia Bomb with Teeth
The new single “Boys Girls” distills Evalyn’s gift for wrapping existential dread in glittering melodies. Over a production that nods to late-2010s hyperpop while feeling fiercely current, she captures the delicious masochism of post-breakup obsession: “I know your type, I’ve seen your likes / Another girl in your bed by Friday night.”
“We tweaked the production endlessly until it felt dangerously catchy,” Evalyn admits. “It’s that feeling when you’re 2AM-deep in someone’s tagged photos, equal parts horrified and hooked.” The track follows April’s “The Feeling”—a manic, high-heeled crawl through hormonal chaos (“I was six months pregnant and fully feral in pink tights,” she laughs)—proving A Quiet Life will be her most sonically and thematically daring work yet.
From Coachella to Motherhood: An Artist Uncontained
Evalyn’s live prowess has electrified stages from Coachella’s Sahara Tent to The Greek Theatre, with critics praising her ability to fuse raw vulnerability with rave-ready energy. Yet this new era embraces quieter contradictions: the messiness of creation amid physical limitation, the irony of writing club anthems while her body morphs into “a temple that mostly wants naps.”
Fans can expect more genre-blurring collaborations (she hints at a “spiritual successor” to her Louis the Child hit “Fire”) and visuals that match the album’s surreal intimacy. With support from Billboard, NYLON, and Spotify’s New Music Friday, Evalyn isn’t just surviving the pop landscape—she’s redefining it on her own terms.
“Boys Girls” is streaming now, and A Quiet Life arrives later this year. One thing’s certain: Evalyn’s quiet is louder than most.
