Pop superstar-in-the-making Peach PRC today returns with her first new music of 2022 with the single ‘God Is A Freak’. The song has already exploded on TikTok after Peach shared a short snippet of the song last week resulting in more than 60 million views and five million shares of videos using the song.

The song is an addictive pop track which incorporates electronica and rock, with semi-acoustic, guitar driven verses that build into full-blooded choruses. The lyrics carry an important message challenging the hypocrisy of religious organisations who prefer to focus on intolerance and shame as opposed to love and respect for all.

“I’ve been doing this ‘god making —' TikTok video series for a while where I simplify the absurdities of “god’s creations” and how the intentions behind his actions make no sense, it’s something I’ve always questioned,” Peach says. “I found it frustrating when I went to a Christian college and sat through testimonials about how the youth leader’s mum prayed for a certain type of carpet for her new house and God rewarded her with it, meanwhile there are children impoverished globally and “God” doesn’t seem to bother.”

“I also remember purity culture being a big thing,” she continues. “The first time I was ‘slut shamed’ was at 12-years-old inside a church during youth group for the clothes I was wearing. This song is for everyone who has felt shamed, dirty, impure, wrong, unloved and unworthy because of beliefs upheld by the church. Whether you are a believer in God or not, you are worthy of feeling liberation.”

‘God Is A Freak’ builds on the huge success Peach PRC achieved in 2021, her breakout year. After signing her first major record label deal with Island Records, her single ‘Josh’ racked up over 19 million streams, peaked at number 38 on the Australian singles chart and was voted number 35 on the Triple J Hottest 100 for 2021. The singles ‘Symptomatic’ and ‘Heavy’ followed, as well as a Christmas themed EP, all attracting streams in the millions.

With music that combines hugely emotive, relatable and empowering lyrics with delicious melodies and powerful beats, Peach PRC has everything it takes to become one of Australia’s most successful performers. Expect more very special things from her as 2022 progresses.
