FEMM Release New Album, "Tokyo Girls Anthem", with MV Premiere Coming December 24

On Friday, December 17 Japanese mannequin rap duo FEMM followed up their hit debut release with their second full-length album, "Tokyo Girls Anthem". As the title suggests, it is an album packed with exciting tracks “by girls, for girls”.

A music video for the title track "Tokyo Girls Anthem" will get a YouTube Premiere release on December 24 at noon Japan time.

​The video was directed by style icon Babymary, director of fashion brand FALINE TOKYO, who is a pioneer of Japan’s girls’ fashion scene and who is beloved by fans all over the world.

FEMM have an even larger audience in Europe than in Japan, and the new album features collaborations with European producer Boys Noize, known for his work with A$AP Rocky and Frank Ocean, as well as Rina Sawayama cohort Danny L Harle and DaBaby/Lil Uzi Vert collaborator Star Boy. From Japan, producers KM and LISACHRIS also feature, while Duke of Harajuku, Elle Teresa and Yup’in appear as guest artists.

The album jacket is illustrated by K2, a rising artist who gained widespread attention in the scene for his impressive cover artwork for Young Thug’s No.1 album ‘PUNK’. This striking illustration shows the faces of FEMM members RiRi and LuLa blending poisonously yet beautifully into one.
 
The members also announced that even more music videos are coming soon, revealing the following release schedule on social media:
 
December 24, 2021: "Tokyo Girls Anthem"
January 7, 2022: "Mental Health feat Yup’in"
January 14, 2022: "Lolly"

FEMM Profile
As a girls’ anthem with a darkly humorous message, mannequin rap duo FEMM’s acclaimed song "Fxxk Boyz Get Money" found an audience with teens and influencers in the United States, quickly spreading around Europe, South America and Asia. FEMM’s debut album "Femm-Isation" brought Japanese female rap to a whole new audience, reaching the Top 10 of Billboard’s World Albums chart in the US.

In Britain, the Huffington Post highlighted FEMM in its "6 Acts to Watch in 2016" list and HMV included the duo in the Best Indie Albums section at its stores across the UK. Through these global activities, FEMM have blazed a trail as acclaimed female rap artists at home and abroad.

FEMM’s love of internet culture made them frontrunners of trends that are now sweeping the world, receiving praise for their reinterpretation of 1980s and ’90s J-pop through a vaporwave filter. In 2020, they released their six-song EP "404 Not Found", whose title refers to the error message that appears when a website cannot be found – alluding to FEMM’s brand-new sound that does not exist anywhere else, no matter how hard you look. With their dark vision and aggressive musicality that rides the forefront of the hyperpop boom, FEMM are attracting attention not only from FEMM fans (known as Agents) but from music fans and media around the world.
