Etta Marcus Releases New Song “Girls Are God's Machines”
London-based singer-songwriter Etta Marcus released a new song “Girls Are God's Machines” along with a music video on August 11, 2025.
The song received its first play during BBC Radio 1's Future Artists with Tara Kumar.
The track is the first single off of her upcoming EP “Devour”, which is set to be released on October 31, 2025.
It was written by Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Etta Marcus, and Josh Scarbrow, who also produced the track.
The video was directed by Angela Ricciardi.
Etta Marcus said of the song, “It really surprised me when I wrote it. I wouldn't say I'm normally an angry person but it turns out, in the last year, I was. There were a lot of experiences I'd had as a woman of feeling like I wasn't being listened to: experiences that I hadn't really addressed previously in terms of misogyny or sexism that I'd faced. This is the female experience and I don't want to settle for it.”- The new EP comprises 5 tracks. It is her first project since her debut album “The Death Of Summer & Other Promises”, which was released last January.
She said of the EP, “There's a dual aspect to the EP: being able to devour something in a really lovely, satisfying way but also being devoured in a really horrific way. I like the idea of being able to sing about love with a violent aspect to it because love is violence where you're almost sacrificing yourself. I was seeing myself as this Pearl-like character with an axe, either hunting down others or being devoured myself.” - source : BBC Radio 1
