New visuals from Raye Zaragoza! Entitled "The It Girl", the Tucker Martine produced track (First Aid Kit, The Decemberists) details Zaragoza's personal struggles with love and acceptance as a multicultural brown woman due to society's western expectations of women.  The funk fueled indie rock tune is her outcry for diverse representation in the media. 

Zaragoza confides "Growing up, all I ever wanted to be was the it girl. I thought that meant I needed to be a pretty blonde princess Barbie who met her Prince Charming and rode off into the sunset. This fantasy left me with immense inner turmoil and self-hatred. In high school, I would even lighten my skin with lemon juice, dye my hair lighter, and wear blue contacts. I truly thought that in order to be beautiful, you had to be white. The It Girl is my outcry for diverse representation in media, a plea to throw out the old rule book of western expectations of women. I am proud to be a multicultural brown woman with insecurities and a vibrant intersectional identity that I continue to grapple with." 

Raye Zaragoza has garnered attention from publications such as Billboard and Paste Magazine.
