Memphis rapper GloRilla has officially released her much-anticipated debut album “Glorious” on October 11th, and it’s everything fans hoped for and more. After many teasers, GloRilla proves once again what a force she is in hip-hop, bringing her “girl boss” energy front and center. The album features fifteen dynamic tracks:“Intro,” “Hollon,” “Procedure,” “Tgif,” “Whatchu Kno About Me,” “Stop Playing,” “Don’t Deserve,” “Rain Down on Me,” “Glo’s Prayer,” “How I Look,” “I Ain’t Going,” “Step,” “Let Her Cook,” “I Luv Her,” and “Queen of Memphis.” GloRilla brings together an impressive combination of features, including Latto, Sexyy Red, Muni Long, Kirk Franklin, Maverick City Music, Kierra Sheard, Chandler Moore, Megan Thee Stallion, BossMan Dlow, T-Pain, and Fridayy. Released through Collective Music Group and Interscope Records, this album captures her rise and solidifies her influence in the rap world.
Since her breakout single, “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” in 2022, GloRilla’s career has skyrocketed. She’s released an EP, Anyways, Life’s Great, and a mixtape, Ehhthang, while earning a Grammy nomination and selling out shows on Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer tour. Now, “Glorious” has debuted at number five on the Billboard 200, amassing 77.9 million streams in just its first week, proving her popularity and rising fame.
Tracks like “Don’t Deserve” reflect topics such as toxic relationships and explore themes of friendship and what it’s like as a girl knowing someone deserves better. It is confrontational, bold, self-assuring, and encouraging. “Glo’s Prayer” also represents the aspects of toxic relationships and the damage that love can cause while embodying an empowering “girl boss” attitude. Both tracks, with their focus on self-respect and resilience, serve as anthems for anyone navigating complex emotions, empowering listeners to embrace their strength. These songs are dedicated to all the girls that know their worth and are hung up over the same man that continues to screw them over.
With her gritty lyricism, catchy hooks, and fearless storytelling, GloRilla’s “Glorious” doesn’t disappoint. Each song brings something unique while staying true to her authentic, bold style, from hard-hitting beats to moments of vulnerability. GloRilla continues to impress her fans with her powerful sound and being a strong voice for women everywhere.
