Sam Quealy “Girls Night” Review: Technopop Anarchy & JAWBREAKER

The Australian-born, Paris-based powerhouse just dropped her new single, “Girls Night,” and it’s exactly what we’ve come to expect from her: a glorious, glitter-covered riot. If her debut album Blonde Venus was our introduction to her “technopop” universe, “Girls Night” is the moment the party actually starts to spiral—in the best way possible.

More Than Just a Song, It’s a Collision

Quealy doesn’t just “write songs.” She builds worlds. Her background isn’t your standard pop-star-in-training story; she’s a product of the balaret, cabaret, and global performance circuits. That DNA is all over this track.

“Girls Night” is a masterclass in what she calls “glamorous anarchy.” It’s hyper-feminine, sure, but it’s also jagged and dangerous. It’s the sound of high-fashion Paris crashing into a basement techno club at 3:00 AM.

Why it hits differently:

  • The Contrast: It balances the “sweetness” of a pop hook with the “volatile” energy of a rock show.

  • The Persona: Quealy isn’t just a singer here; she’s a multidisciplinary force, blending high-concept choreography and fashion into every beat.

  • The Stakes: This is the lead-up to her sophomore album, JAWBREAKER (dropping January 30), which promises to be even more maximalist and unapologetic.

The “JAWBREAKER” Era

On stage, Quealy is famously a high-voltage creature—part showgirl, part otherworldly rock star. You can feel that raw energy bleeding through the speakers on “Girls Night.” It’s theatrical, it’s messy, and it’s completely original.

She isn’t interested in staying in a lane. She’s too busy merging choreography, storytelling, and pure sonic chaos into something that defies easy categorization. While other artists are trying to fit into a genre, Sam Quealy is busy building one of her own.

“Her work is a world of glamorous anarchy where vulnerability and spectacle collide.”

Final Verdict

If you’re tired of “polite” pop, put “Girls Night” on. It’s a preview of the JAWBREAKER era that confirms one thing: Sam Quealy is one of the most exciting, uncompromising artists working right now.
