INJI, an emerging force in the dance music scene, has made a strong impression with her latest track, “GIRLZ.” The release marks a fitting end to the summer, offering a blend of confidence and playful energy that has become a hallmark of her music. This single is part of INJI’s upcoming EP, ‘WE GOOD’, which is scheduled for release on September 13 under AWAL. INJI’s ability to fuse various genres into cohesive and danceable tracks has solidified her reputation as a versatile artist. Her previous singles have already garnered significant attention—most notably, “NICE TO MEET YA (feat. Flyana Boss),” which received airplay on BBC1, and “BELLYDANCING,” which has amassed over 30 million streams globally. The latter track also saw an impressive response on Shazam, with over 300,000 tags in its first week.
Discussing “GIRLZ,” INJI explains that the song captures the essence of a spontaneous girls’ trip to France, filled with late nights and memorable escapades. The track is a celebration of the uninhibited confidence that comes when surrounded by close friends, even when things don’t go as planned. For INJI, “GIRLZ” embodies a spirit of fun and self-assuredness that resonates with her broader artistic vision.
As INJI prepares to embark on her first headline tour, the anticipation is high. The tour, which kicks off on September 13 at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, is already nearly sold out. Fans can expect a dynamic live experience that brings the energy of her recordings to the stage. The tour will take INJI across the United States and into Europe, with stops in major cities like San Francisco, New York, Paris, and London.
INJI’s journey in music is as compelling as her sound. Originally from Turkey, the 23-year-old artist and songwriter now resides in New York City. She began her musical education with a foundation in classical and jazz, which later evolved into a passion for electronic and house music. This transition occurred during her time at The Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, where she balanced her academic pursuits with her growing interest in music production and performance. INJI’s solo career took off with the release of “GASLIGHT,” a track characterized by its unfiltered energy and cheeky lyrics. The song quickly gained traction, accumulating millions of streams and topping TikTok charts, establishing INJI as a fresh voice in the electronic music landscape.
