With “Girls Like Me,” Kruthikaa Delivers Victory Music for the Ambitious and Unbothered
Vocal sensation Kruthikaa has released “Girls Like Me,” an alt-gloss R&B missile that chooses uplift over apology. Produced by Grammy-winning Benny Cassette and co-written with 8AE (fresh off a J-Lo drop), the track builds its swagger on a catchy quirky flute motif, brisk drum programming, and a velvety bass pad that glows like streetlights at noon.
Kruthikaa’s tone is flint and honey. She declines the tyranny of hurry—“I ain’t in a rush”—then flips condescension into cardio, letting the chorus surge “up high key” for every woman clocking miles while critics idle. The writing is breezy but unsentimental: a calm audit of ambition, stamina, and boundary-setting, punctuated by the wry taunt of “big mad.” Hooks arrive pre-weaponized, designed to ricochet in your head long after the last cymbal tuck.
Objectively, the record is Methodical. The mix leaves oxygen around the vocal; kicks are punchy without mud; the flute hook threads the stereo field like neon wire. Transitions glide, and the post-chorus chants feel engineered for crowd lift without surrendering nuance. No bloat, no filler—just precision swagger.
How does it feel? Like lacing fresh sneakers before sunrise: posture taller, jaw unclenched, focus sharpened. The groove doesn’t shove; it accelerates your stride. “Girls Like Me” functions as both mirror and megaphone—affirming those who lead, inviting the rest to catch up. Kruthikaa doesn’t beg the room; she reconfigures it, then strolls through, gaze steady, agenda clear. File it under victory music: glossy resolve, kinetic poise, and unapologetically forward momentum. Fuel. Daily.
