Peng Back Girls (Remix)

The opening lines to ‘Peng Black Girls’ have swiftly become iconic:

“There’s peng black girls in my area code / Dark skin, light skin, medium tone / Permed tings, braids, got mini afros / Thick lips, got hips, some of us don’t.”

ENNY’s original tune was released back in October and featured singer-songwriter Amia Brave. Now, having attracted some serious attention, UK soul star Jorja Smith joins the remix to celebrate the diversity of black beauty.

The track highlights issues involving black women’s media representation, promoting an acceptance for people’s variable appearances. We all constantly change the way we dress, wear our hair, talk and have fun, so why isn’t this recognised and stereotypes slashed? Jorja Smith’s guest appearance even interpolates Solange’s modern classic ‘Don’t Touch My Hair’…

Paya brings in Srigala to create a production pair for the edit, slowing the beat down while maintaining its spirit and charisma. ‘Peng Black Girls’ is one of this year’s top tunes and we’re sure to see much more of ENNY now she’s signed to Jorja Smith’s label, FAMM. This song itself is black excellence.
