Listen to Sophie and the Bom Boms’ “Badman”: Premiere

1 minute read

Sophie Stern has written for the likes of Britney Spears and Ke$ha — she even appeared with Kendrick Lamar on a Cisco & Schwayze song back in 2011 — but the singer is ready to move from behind-the-scenes to the front of the stage. With her new outfit Sophie and the Bom Boms, that seems likely to happen. The band’s new EP, The Shmixtape, comes out Sept. 22nd on Columbia Records, and it’s filled with radio-friendly pop songs that will keep the summer vibe alive through the winter months.

TIME has an exclusive first listen of “Badman,” a sing-along track perfect for blasting out the windows of your bedroom while you get ready to wash that man right out of your hair. “I wrote these songs as if I was talking with my best girlfriends,” said Stern.”There’s a man’s definition of manliness and there’s a woman’s definition of manliness. This is the latter. It’s an anti-douchebaggery anthem.”

Who doesn’t want to shake their Bom Boms along with that?
