Remy Bond's latest single, "Simple Girl," is what might happen if Old Hollywood collides with contemporary heartbreak. With the sultry vocals and razor-sharp lyricism that have come to define her output, Bond strip-mines the glossy surface of romance, creating a dreamy and devastating cut.
Her first song of 2025, "Simple Girl," is not your average love song. It's a savvy, no-nonsense kiss-off nested in warm strings, hazy piano, and bold electric guitar. From the opening line, "Hey little sinner, I hope your god is good," Bond establishes the tone: She is not here to make friends. Like any self-respecting heartbreaker, she slices into a failed love with the cool detachment of someone who saw it coming all along.
By the time the chorus kicks in, "We don't have anything in common. They say it's all in my head, but I'm already gone. I'm a simple girl. I like gardening and drugs. I don't really care about breaking his heart," it's unmistakable that Bond has fashioned an anthem for the easy-breezy uninvested. Her light soprano floats above the instrumentation, rendering even the harshest lines feel intoxicating.
The production matches "Simple Girl" emotional back-and-forth. String shimmer opens them like a movie soundtrack before piano and electric guitar take over, building to a lush, full-throated soundscape. With thumping drums and soaring layers of vocals, "Simple Girl" swells into a vast, dramatic chorus that feels designed explicitly for late-night drives and poor choices.
