After three years away from releasing music, New York’s Kim McClay makes a fearless return with ‘Velveteen Girls’, a powerful indie-rock statement celebrating self-worth, confidence, and the beauty of growing older.
Inspired by the timeless story of The Velveteen Rabbit, the single confronts the pressures women face around appearance and ageing, transforming those frustrations into a bold and uplifting anthem. Written as a message of encouragement for her nieces, and women everywhere, the track embraces authenticity and rejects the idea that value is tied to youth or perfection.
Blending explosive rock energy with introspective songwriting, she continues to showcase the emotionally raw style that helped her build a strong reputation across New York’s live music scene.
Driven by gutsy lyricism and layered instrumentation, ‘Velveteen Girls’ marks a striking new chapter for Kim McClay. With its empowering message and emotionally charged delivery, the single arrives as both a rallying cry and a celebration of life lived fully.
