Catherine Jeanne-D’Arc Flips the Script with Bold & Brash “Not Demure”

Catherine Jeanne-D’Arc releases her most recent single and music video, “Not Demure,” she hurtles headlong at the waifish, internalized aesthetic of the “Very Demure” TikTok trend. Instead of whispering, she roars with an extravagant rap/trap anthem celebrating an unapologetic woman who won’t shrink herself for anyone.

Born from Camp Potéra, an all-women and diversity-led writing camp, the track is a statement and a rebellion. Jeanne-D’Arc’s instinct was to run in the other direction when camp founder Georgette asked her to write a song inspired by the demure TikTok trend. And thank god she did.

With ornate visuals, the music video is as extravagant as the song itself. Jeanne-D’Arc demands the screen with an informal, high-octane presence that oozes swagger. The production goes all in on the song’s bravado, with big styling, dramatic cuts, and an almost cantata-like theatricality that won’t be surreptitiously watched.

In a world that frequently rewards women for keeping their mouths shut, “Not Demure” is a call to arms. It’s chaos, sound, and fury, saturated with style and the defiance we need.

Tony G. Copeland Serenades the Soul with “My Number One Lady”

Love songs often seem to drip with timeless appeal, and Tony G. Copeland’s latest single, “My Number One Lady”, is just such an example. This heartstring song is a fair homage to love, gratitude, and unyielding support, and it will be out on his album All Night Suga.

Written initially as a love letter to his wife, Angela, “Number One Lady” went on to do something of a disservice: it reinvigorated a genre that the masses had long forgotten. With its soothing melodies, luscious instrumentation, and soul-surging lyrics, the song speaks to every woman loved by a man who knows and loves her for her true self.

From the opening note, “My Number One Lady” envelops listeners in a hug, buoyed by Tony G. Copeland’s skillful production and the song’s full sonic textures. Co-produced by Reginald Halsey Jr. and featuring Brock Mack’s deep, sonorous bass lines, the track unfolds like a soulful groove that manifests as equal parts R&B classic and contemporary polish. Their talents blend seamlessly into a sound that feels at once an homage and completely new.
