“ALL MY GIRLS ARE TOMBOYS” – Jo Hill
Bury my diamonds and cover my curves, hide my distractions so I can be heard. Speak from my chest, but you’re reading the words on my shirt…
Cheddar’s Jo Hill came seemingly out of thin air last year and quickly stole our hearts with her sophomore EP Cinematic Baby and songs like “Off the 45” and “Glastonbury” – tracks whose big choruses hit hard, all while capturing life’s small moments of connection, meaning, and reeling.
By 2023’s end, Hill was an Atwood Editor’s Pick and a featured artist, and her music was highlighted in our “36 Best EPs of 2023,” our “Top Artist Discoveries of 2023,” and our “2023 Songs of Year” articles. She was also named an Artist to Watch in 2024, and watch her we have – the songs “THE CITY NEVER SLEEPS” and “BIG BOYS CRY TOO” have continued to dazzle and impress, but it’s on her latest single that she’s dialed the energy up and turned on that charismatic, captivating Jo Hill charm.
You’re making me a bitch
and I’m not even on my period
Just tryna scratch you
didn’t even think to ask I had
Bury my diamonds and cover my curves
Hide my distractions so I can be heard
Speak from my chest
but you’re reading the words on my shirt
An unapologetic ray of soaring, seductive, and spellbinding energy, “ALL MY GIRLS ARE TOMBOYS” is as irresistible as it is infectious: Hill comes to life in an uplifting, inspiring outpouring of love channeled into three minutes of unbridled, spirited indie pop passion. It’s a feminist anthem, a f*-you to the patriarchy, and an ode to the amazing women in her world – and one can’t help but play this cinematic celebration on repeat.
“This one’s for my girls, my pow girls, and my mum,” Hill tells Atwood Magazine. “I worship your bravery and the sisterhood you bring me. Love always.”
She hits her high in a dynamic, sun-kissed singalong chorus, inviting all to join in on her revelry as she basks radiantly, relentlessly, and without abandon:
All my girls are tomboys
We’re showing up in convoy
Don’t blame me if I destroy you
I’m just copying your moves
Pull the ceiling down
All my girls are tomboys
“ALL MY GIRLS ARE TOMBOYS” arrives alongside the exciting new of Jo Hill’s upcoming debut album girlhood., set to release November 22nd via UROK.
“‘girlhood.’ is about wearing your vulnerability on your sleeve and being a badass bitch while doing so,” the singer/songwriter explains. “If there’s one thing I’ve learnt in the process of making this record, it’s that the best things happen by accident. They’re often unplanned, a hiccup that leads to a much more interesting moment, journey and story. This is the album I wish my mum gave me growing up.”
Running ‘round in circles
falling in and out of feminine
Taylor got the memo
that we’re going as fast as we can
Strike in with an upper cut
I’m putting on my boxing gloves
Dodging every swing so you
can watch me as I put ‘em up
Running ‘round in circles, falling in and out of feminine…
As far as reintroductions go, “ALL MY GIRLS ARE TOMBOYS” is a breathtakingly bold, anthemic, and undeniable moment of musical and emotional alchemy.
It’s the perfect return to the much-deserved spotlight for this fast-rising artist. Jo Hill excels when passion meets the pedal, and this song is high-energy heart-on-sleeve fervor: A cathartic release that moves us to sing, to dance, to celebrate the women in our lives, and to call out misogyny where we see as well.
That a song can do one of those is an achievement in itself; that this does all four – and more! – speaks to the sheer talents of the one and only Jo Hill.
Bury my diamonds and cover my curves
Hide my distractions so I can be heard
Speak from my chest
but you’re reading the words on my shirt
All my girls are tomboys
We’re showing up in convoy
Don’t blame me if I destroy you
I’m just copying your moves
Pull the ceiling down
All my girls are tomboys
