Viral pop sensation, Tessa Violet has released her bubbly new single, “MY GOD!” today. The breezy track is flirty, flippant fun, a charming celebration of Tessa’s effortless physical chemistry with her new lover. The track also arrives alongside the announcement of her upcoming LP, MY GOD!, out July 14th. The new album will feature the new single, alongside the TikTok trending smash hit “YES MOM” and breakup anthem “You Are Not My Friend”.
With her iconic yellow hair and signature cheeky lyricism, Tessa Violet’s fans know her as a disciple who worships diligently at the altar of camp, and “MY GOD!” will not disappoint. Playful religious imagery abounds in the steamy track as Tessa compares her sexual passion to blessings, heaven, and angels. Starting soft and sugary sweet “MY GOD!” slowly becomes more and more racy before settling into the perfect sexy sing along as Tessa repeats “I just want to be devoured / Hot and sticky in the shower / ‘Hallelujah’ say it louder”.
Well known for her social-media savvy (she began building a fanbase on YouTube back in the late aughts) Tessa Violet has racked up a slew of viral hits since the release of her debut album Bad Ideas in 2019. With 37 million likes on TikTok, 1.8 million subscribers on YouTube, and multiple trending audios (the most notable being viral phenomenon “YES MOM”) it is clear that Tessa Violet has her finger directly on the pulse of what artistry commands attention in the digital age. She has collaborated with fellow tastemakers in the pop genre like Cavetown, Lovelytheband, MisterWives, Chloe Moriondo, and Will Joseph Cook.
In May, Tessa wrapped a 24 date tour supporting half•alive. In July she will embark on a headlining tour of North America with support from Frances Forever.
