By blending pop, rock, dance and jazz, Aaliyah Qureishi emerges as a singular artist—and, by calling herself Jhalli, reclaims a colloquial slur aimed at young girls. Her debut EP is a genre-hopping collection that includes queer pop confection “Let Me Be Ur Girl” and emotional dance ditty “Stupid Games”. A constant is Jhalli’s self-described “bravado of vulnerability”, whether she’s breaking free of societal shackles on disco jam “Hurricane” or accepting herself wholly on guitar ballad “Insecurity”.
