My Crazy Girlfriend
Mar 23, 2014

A killer pop band is only as good as its chemistry and Los Angeles' new sensation My Crazy Girlfriend knows a lot about that: Myah Marie, Bennett Armstrong, Justyn Armstrong, and Cosmo are best friends and a pair of twins that have taken their love for delicious hooks and irresistible hip-hop to the next level on their Capitol debut EP, CRAZY STUPID LOVE.
Before the four members of My Crazy Girlfriend collided in L.A. and made one of the most cross-pollinated, genre-mashing pop albums of the year, they were making moves on their own. Myah Marie has been singing since she was 2 years old and writing songs since she was 8. She got contacted by a rep for a pair of rhyme-spitting, song-writing twins (the Armstrong brothers) and started collaborating with them, but she was also pursuing her own sound, moving to Vegas to sing over dance tracks (where she shared a house with budding EDM wunderkind Avicii) and crooning backup on Britney Spears albums.
When My Crazy Girlfriend came together, everything changed for the group, and they clicked as a team immediately. That unique chemistry can be heard all over CRAZY STUPID LOVE EP. Lead single "Go F**k Yourself" an upbeat, wickedly clever tune that crosses all genres, is a perfect example of how My Crazy Girlfriend can gel. "We're into twisting lyrics and making them unique," Myah says.
The beautifully melodic hook of "Crazy Stupid Love" is impossible to get out of your head - and explains who My Crazy Girlfriend really are: "We're crazy, we're stupid, and we love to love," Myah laughs. Bennett says it's his favorite track because, "We wanted to tie all our influences into a record that sounded new and fresh." (The brothers produced the song, which was co-written by Kasey Livingston and their frequent collaborator David "DQ" Quiñones.)
"We wanted to come up with something that's new but timeless, and that's why we wanted the majority of our stuff to be organic based and have organic elements," Justyn says. "It's awesome to be doing this all together," Bennett adds. "We feel like one unit, in the studio and out."
