Tastes Like Rebirth: GG Magree’s “Spit Love” Pours Out Power
Interviewed by Isabella Gonzalez
From the moment we hop on FaceTime, GG Magree’s presence mirrors her chart: Aquarius sun, Taurus rising, Virgo moon. She’s wild, grounded, and sharply self-aware. There’s a cool confidence in the way she speaks, like she’s already built her own universe and is just inviting you in for a tour.
It’s the kind of balance you can hear all over her new album, Spit Love. A project that’s raw, primal, and deeply human.
What follows is a conversation about rebirth and the power of taste, literally.

When asked about the name Spit Love, GG Magree doesn’t hesitate; it’s as visceral and instinctive as it sounds. “I’m such a pheromone kind of girl,” she says. “I’m obsessed with spit: the consistency, the smell, all of it. That’s how I know when someone’s a match. No one really talks about it, but you’re not going to fall in love with someone who doesn’t taste good.”
Spit Love, in part, explores the things that make people uncomfortable and the allure of it: “I love talking about things that people shouldn’t be attracted to,” she says.
The version of the album we hear now is completely different from the one she first brought to Rise Records. “I was on the Williamsburg Bridge filming,” she laughs. “My friends and I had this idea to make a short film in three weeks.”
The original album was me working through a heartbreak, but after that short film, I realized I needed an outlet. I wasn’t happy with where the album was going.”
So she scrapped almost everything and started fresh; only two songs carried over. “It was totally backwards, but that’s how I work,” she says. “When it finally aligns, it feels so fucking good. I thrive in chaos. I love what I do.”
“The Timing Chose Me”
GG Magree describes Spit Love as 25 years in the making, not because it took that long to produce, but because it took that long to become the person who could. Every song is pulled from something lived.
“When I first came to America, I got slug-shot into the EDM community,” she says. “I was told to be big, but not too big. Emotional, but not messy. Dress cool, but not sexy.”
GG’s been through eras — a chunk including dubstep and bass-heavy rage, “I’ll always love dubstep,” she says. “But that’s not who I am anymore. For so long, I made angry music. I don’t want to be angry anymore.”
She laughs, but there’s weight behind it. “Trying to be that version of myself made me hate myself,” she admits. “This album is who the fuck I actually am.”
Much of Spit Love comes from pain she’s transmuted into power. “The world is a dark place,” she says. “A lot of this record is my traumas and my healing. It’s important to talk about abusive relationships, about coming to terms with your sexuality, about surviving it all and becoming more sure of yourself.”
The album is an extension of that self-ownership. “Wet Dreams makes you want to fuck yourself and fuck someone else,” she laughs. “Then there’s Run, the first metal song I’ve ever released. I was terrified to put it out because it’s me stepping into a new genre.”
And that’s the sound of Spit Love: a moment of arrival.

From Rampage to Pride
When asked for another unforgettable career moment, she shares something that feels more like a turning point than a story. “I was playing at Rampage Festival last summer, and I found myself crying after that set,” she says. “I wasn’t myself. I felt so lost…like I didn’t know who I was anymore.”
After came her Pride NYC set this past summer, a performance she’ll never forget. “My grandma had just passed away,” she recalls softly. “I don’t even know how I got through it. But it turned out to be the best set I’ve ever played. I was so in my zone. That night changed everything for me. It’s when I knew I was done with heavy bass music.”
The crowd’s response sealed it. “The way people received that set, I told myself, remember this feeling for the rest of your life.”
GG channels that same rawness into her collaborations. Her favorite to date? A chaotic, punk-fueled track with Silly Goose, 2 Hot to Handle. “I love Silly Goose,” she grins. “I’m their first collab, and I feel so grateful. The song’s four-on-the-floor, it’s insane. I don’t want people to feel safe when they hear it.”
And that sonic rebellion, blending rock’s grit with EDM’s pulse, has become her signature. Tracks like Siren and Wet Dreams blur the lines between genres with intention. “I grew up on rock and metal, but electronic music gave me freedom. Mixing them feels emotional and explosive at the same time.”

There are endless ways to find empowerment, but for GG Magree, it’s rooted in raw sexuality, the kind that makes people a little uncomfortable because it refuses to be tamed.
“People often try to control situations and each other. Society has long shamed most who embrace their sexuality. But the truth is, if people can’t control it, it’s because they can’t control their own desires. Owning that power takes an incredible amount of confidence.”
She talks about it like a kind of rebellion, a liberation from the expectations that still cling to artists. “If people can’t make sense of you, they’ll mock you,” she says.
“But it’s 2025, and freedom is what we should all be chasing.”

Building to be Seen

GG Magree’s been navigating the scene for years. Her career’s taken her across continents, through shifting sounds, and into rooms where she’s had to fight to be seen on her own terms.
When asked what she’s learned from it all, she doesn’t sugarcoat it. “My contract literally says there has to be a woman and someone LGBTQ+ involved,” she says. “That’s non-negotiable. The industry is messy right now, music is messy, but that’s exactly why, if you have a voice, you have to use it. And use it really fucking loud.” But the core of her resilience is community.
“The biggest thing I wish I did differently? Pick your team wisely. Find people who see you for who you are, not who they want you to be. Everyone’s got a vision for the artist they think you should become — but if it doesn’t align with yours, it’ll crush you.”
“My group of friends is like, fifteen gay hot boys deep,” she laughs. “I could fail at anything, and they’d still hold me up. To them, I’m god and they’re god to me. Community holds you so tight. They got me, and I got them.”
She leans back, thoughtful for a moment before adding, “You have to figure out who the fuck you are. You have to be strong in that. You don’t want to be some watered-down version of anyone else. And doing art for the wrong reasons? That’s not it either.”
Planet Yes presents SPIT LOVE
What better weekend than Halloween to unveil her album to the NYC scene?
Last Thursday, October 30th, House of Yes was packed wall to wall. Costumes, sweat, and heavy bass blurred together as the floor vibrated beneath the crowd. Restless and half-dancing, everyone was waiting for GG Magree to take over.
The venue itself sets the stage perfectly. Known for its immersive, anything-goes energy, House of Yes thrives on creativity, self-expression, and letting go of norms…the kind of space where GG invites everyone to explore the wild and untamed
When she steps up, the energy shifts instantly. She moves between DJ and frontwoman like it’s second nature, flashing a grin that says she knows exactly what she’s doing.
From there, it’s nonstop. “365 Party Girl,” a J.Lo “Waiting for Tonight” remix, “Satisfaction x Pump It Up,” and a handful of filthy drops no one can quite name but everyone feels. “Ride That Beat” by Miss Bashful turns the place inside out — strobes, screams, the kind of bass that rearranges your pulse.
The peak comes when she drops her cover of “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls. The lights dim, the crowd hushes just enough to catch her voice cutting through the smoke, and then she’s suddenly in the air crowd-surfing through her own storm.
By the end of it, everyone’s hair is stuck to their face, makeup’s gone, and no one’s thinking about anything except how good it feels to be right there, in it: a little wild, a little wrecked, fully alive.
GG Magree isn’t here to play it safe, and neither is Spit Love. Every track hits with the force of pure pheromones, every lyric a raw declaration of freedom. Stream the album, follow her socials, and catch one of her shows. Soak up that unapologetic energy and channel it into yourself. This is music that won’t let you stay on the sidelines.
