Crush Club return with soulful house anthem ‘Girl, Hold Tight (Marsha P.)’ honoring Marsha P. Johnson: Liste

Feel-good house heater with heart. LA-based duo Crush Club is back with ‘Girl, Hold Tight (Marsha P.)’, a groovy new anthem dedicated to the pioneering trans activist and gay rights trailblazer Marsha P. Johnson. Helmed by TC Milan and Le Chev, the record pairs uplifting piano, a pulsing bassline and soulful vocals into the kind of house track made for cool summer nights.

“While we were making the song, we kept Marsha in our minds, not only her work in the movement but also her fabulousness as a trans superstar diva running lower Manhattan,” Crush Club shared. “Marsha P. Johnson didn’t wait for permission to exist. She demanded dignity in the face of violence and became a trailblazing force for the gay rights movement. This song is for her and for anyone fighting to make the world a little better.” The record’s queer-forward, celebratory spirit lines up perfectly with the piano-house energy driving the club world right now.

Crush Club first landed on the wider dance radar when their single ‘We Dance’ was crowned Annie Mac’s Hottest Record In The World on BBC Radio 1. Their music has since soundtracked shows including The White Lotus on HBO and Your Friends & Neighbors on Apple TV, alongside collaborations with big names like SOFI TUKKER, LP Giobbi, Purple Disco Machine, Sigrid and Ava Max. They have also toured live with LP Giobbi and SOFI TUKKER.

‘Girl, Hold Tight (Marsha P.)’ is streaming now via the official release link.
