…not some kind of minor trope MUNA Kind Of Girl (single)
MUNA Kind Of Girl is available on Saddest Factory Records, Tidal, Deezer…

It’s a ‘safe’ claim that feeling confident and the search for identity in a sea of anxiety are at their most turbulent these days. Social media, an uncertain post-pandemic world, and whatever else is causing friction to achieve inner peace all play their part in this evergreen confusion. And the recent slowburn Americana single “Kind Of Girl” from powerful trio MUNA deals with this head-on, beautifully, of course.
In the comment section of the official music video, the LA-based outfit provided the backstory, “…this is a song about accepting yourself as you are and admitting that you still want to grow and change. we hope you love the track—and this amazing one-shot video directed by Taylor James—as much as we do.”
And, with a subject matter that affects more folks than many want to admit, “Kind Of Girl” is a soft dagger to the soul searching for acceptance. And, yes, the Taylor James-helmed film is absolutely stunning and moving set of visuals full of cow-pokes and find one’s self.
“Kind Of Girl” is from MUNA’s forthcoming self-titled LP expected on June 24th via Pheobe Bridgers’ Saddest Factory Records.
