About the album
Chapter is thrilled to welcome June Jones to the roster with standalone single Good Girl.
June is a Sydney based alt-pop singer, songwriter, producer, and shapeshifter. We have been fans of her music for years but were completely swept away by her deep, gorgeous and irresistible 2022 album Pop Music For Normal Women.
June says “I'm really excited to be releasing my new music through Chapter – a label whose catalogue I have been listening to since I was in high school. After opting to self-release all of my own music until now, I feel extremely grateful to find a label that my new songs can call home. I'm also heartened that Ben and Guy are so encouraging of my urge to lean further into the horny dance pop direction that I'm drawn to at the moment.”
Good Girl is first evidence of this new direction – June’s most daring, direct and pop-facing track yet. “I was listening to a lot of Charli XCX when I was making Good Girl,” says June, “and I think my love for her music is what allowed me to write a chorus like this one, which leans into the part of me that does kinda just wanna be this hot femme object of queer desire.”
The track is co-mixed with rising producer Lucy Blomkamp, who June met in Sydney earlier this year at an APRA Pride Songhubs workshop curated by Troye Sivan. The song comes complete with a racy video directed by Jeremy Elphick and Jonno Revanche.
“I play two characters that represent caricatures of the two roles I inhabit as an independent artist,” June says. “The one in the blonde wig is the public face of the artist, glamorous and put-together. The copper-haired character is the part of me that does all the work behind the scenes, which in reality can be quite unglamorous and exhausting. I also just wanted to include some hot muscular men as homage to the pop videos I grew up seeing on TV Hits.”
June Jones has released three solo albums, performed with the likes of Cate Le Bon, Julien Baker and Katie Dey, played everywhere from Brunswick Music Festival to Sydney Mardi Gras, and been nominated for multiple AIR and Music VIC awards.
