NEW SINGLE!
BANKRUPT

Out Now!

A smooth, spiritually cathartic track, “BANKRUPT” explores the disillusionment of chasing the American dream while striving for a life of simple joys. This fourth single from FEM du lit’s upcoming debut album, STIGMATA (due February 28, 2025), is a poignant reflection on the struggles of investing in artistry under the weight of end-stage capitalism.“BANKRUPT” is more than a statement—it’s an experience. With Lily M Tahar’s laid-back, in the pocket drum fills, Zora Seboulisa’s vivacious bass grooves, and a captivating saxophone feature by Obsvdian (Xiomara Mills-Dupree), the track exudes both movement and meditation. Its rich harmonies and FEM du lit’s emotive vocal performance conjure echoes of Lady Wray, SWV, and Stevie Wonder, seamlessly blending vintage soul with contemporary R&B.
