Fresh off earning two 2026 JUNO Awards nominations, Toronto’s own SadBoi steps confidently into a new chapter with her electrifying single “Twisted,” out now via LVRN Records. Already building momentum online and on dancefloors alike, the track signals the beginning of a fresh era for the genre-blurring artist.
Co-produced by GRAMMY Award winner David “Dos Dias” Bishop — whose credits include Usher, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, and Summer Walker — alongside Alexay Beats and Jacob Lincoln, “Twisted” sets the tone for SadBoi’s upcoming project GYAL 6, due later this year. The single delivers high energy and emotional chaos in equal measure, built for late nights, loud feelings, and the kind of decisions that feel right in the moment — even when they aren’t.
At its core, GYAL 6 is a celebration of contradictions: confidence and vulnerability, rebellion and romance. Sonically, the project moves freely between rap, club energy, and global rhythmic influences, reflecting SadBoi’s signature fusion of garage, house, dancehall, and reggaeton textures. The world she creates is one where music, culture, and community meet — a space for messy, magnetic, emotionally fearless listeners to feel seen.
“‘Twisted’ is about knowing something isn’t good for you and still wanting it anyway, almost like a night out with too many drinks,” SadBoi shares. “It’s the moment where logic leaves and feelings take over — messy, honest, and a little embarrassing. I wanted it to feel like a late-night confession you probably shouldn’t send, but do.”
The release follows a major touring run supporting Rico Nasty on her LETHAL Tour, further cementing SadBoi’s reputation for high-impact, genre-fluid performances. Her collaborative résumé continues to expand across scenes and borders, with past work alongside Smiley, Cash Cobain, Blanco, DJ SAZE, Cleotrapa, and Duquesa, positioning her at the crossroads of hip-hop, global club music, and UK rap.
Her latest JUNO Award–nominated project, DRY CRY, drew widespread critical acclaim, with Pitchfork praising it as “a declaration of incoming supremacy from SadBoi — not quite a coming-out, but a confirmation of her rising star.” With “Twisted” leading the charge, that rise is looking louder, bolder, and more unstoppable than ever.
