SINGLE REVIEW: I Don’t Wear Pink - Pink Poison
I Don’t Wear Pink's debut single 'Pink Poison' marks an exciting arrival on the scene, bringing an electrifying blend of rock and punk with an undeniable confidence and energy. Hailing from Mexico City, this all-female quartet—comprised of Misha (vocals/guitar), Kushi (lead guitar), Rivagui (bass), and Nineteen (drums)—taps into a wide range of influences, crafting a sound that feels fresh, powerful, and distinct.
The track opens with a tense, atmospheric intro that builds suspense before being pierced by an electrifying "oooo", drawing you in with its raw intensity. It’s a perfect teaser for what’s to come—gritty, pulsing, and full of life. Misha’s powerhouse vocals take centre stage here, delivering an effortlessly confident performance that balances sweetness with a killer bite. Her voice embodies both power and authenticity, giving the track a magnetic force that commands attention.
The chorus erupts thanks to the excellent use of gang vocals, a moment that adds a collective force to the track’s already explosive energy. There’s a punk spirit in the rebellion of the sound, but it’s woven together with symphonic tendencies and ethereal moments, giving it a dynamic edge that feels both polished and delightfully DIY. The instrumental work is equally compelling—guitar-driven, with killer riffs that cut through the track and heavy, captivating drums that drive the pace forward.
What stands out most is the rockstar attitude that pulses through every note. 'Pink Poison' blends classic rock sensibilities with the fierce rebellion of punk, all while maintaining an artistic flair that feels uniquely their own. It’s a bold debut that captures the essence of what this band stands for—authentic, confident, and ready to rock the world.
This is a stellar first offering from I Don’t Wear Pink, one that showcases their impressive range and potential. With this debut, they’ve managed to craft a song that’s not only musically tight, but also emotionally and artistically resonant. It’s clear they’re not here to play by anyone’s rules—they’re here to make a statement.
