Pop-funk diva Molly Grace continues her rapid rise as the world's next pop sensation with her latest release, "F.E.M.M.E." The song has become a "Femininomenon" on social media, inspiring its own TikTok dance that even caught the attention of High School Musical alum KayCee Stroh. With her signature comedic flair, Molly Grace uses the track to address the challenges of navigating romance as a femme lesbian. Written as if she’s chatting on FaceTime, the lyrics detail interactions with both men and women that left her feeling “too much” for either side of the spectrum. The chorus delivers the message loud and clear: “Is it such a crime to be? Fabulous, Enticing, Magnetic, Magical, Everything.” No Molly Grace single would be complete without her signature elements—teasing spoken verses and gospel-infused background vocals. The song builds in intensity and instrumentation as the story unfolds, culminating in a standout bridge.
A standout moment is the bridge’s breakdown, where the instrumentation pulls back to reveal a spoken-word section offering big-sister wisdom: “It doesn’t matter how you talk, how you dress. Don’t have to prove anything to any of them—you’re a femme.” This part is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at live shows, with clapping and stomping elevating the moment. Adding to the song’s sultry tone, whispered background vocals in the chorus create a layered, immersive feel that many listeners will relate to. From the track’s production to its marketing and cover art—an homage to the cult LGBTQ+ film But I’m a Cheerleader—every detail of "F.E.M.M.E." feels like a love letter to the feminine queer community. Since its Jan. 10 release party at Nashville’s lesbian bar The Lipstick Lounge, the song has been making waves. With F.E.M.M.E., Molly Grace rallies the femme squad with a track that’s bold, confident, and impossible to ignore. As the song keeps gaining momentum, one thing’s for sure—she’s just getting started, and the crowd is already on its feet. "F.E.M.M.E." by Molly Grace is available now on all streaming platforms.
