“1/17” by Debby Friday
Debby Friday recently dropped new single “1/17”, her first new single of single for 2025, out now via Sub Pop/Royal Mountain Records. Written and produced during her 2024 European tour, “1/17” marks a new direction for Debby Friday. Featuring hypnotic vocals and cheeky lyrics with nods to ancient Greece and nude selfies, the track exudes charm and lightness. With threads of experimental dance-pop woven seamlessly throughout, “1/17” is a refreshing addition to Debby Friday’s sonic world and a promising kickoff to her new era. “1/17” was produced by Friday and Darcy Baylis, mixed by Alex Gamble, with assistance by Taylor Finnigan, and mastered by Levi Seitz. Its official video is directed by Friday and frequent collaborator Kevan Funk (“WHAT A MAN,” “SO HARD TO TELL”), and filmed at Toronto’s historic Massey Hall.
Friday says of the visual, “It’s based on an amalgamation of two experiences that I had. The first was when I won the Polaris Music Prize at Massey Hall, which felt like a peak moment in my career. The second was when, nine months later, I played a festival show to absolutely no one in the audience. I’ve spent the past year detaching myself from the highs and lows of this business and trying to see everything as a sign. Of what? I don’t know. But I’m sure in the end, it’ll all mean something.”
Debby Friday has scheduled two performances for the Spring and Summer of 2025 : August 3rd in Montreal at Osheaga Festival and May 15th in Brighton, UK at The Great Escape Festival.
