There are two sides to the Cowboy Boy story. Here’s the first: Olivia Maria and Mike Nevin started writing songs together in Boston. When Olivia moved to LA, Cowboy Boy persisted over FaceTime and weekends spent recording in each other’s home bases. That part’s easy, but packing up and leaving the East Coast was hard. Enter part two of the Cowboy Boy story — the PRINCESS/GOOD GIRL double EP out soon via Get Better Records.
If PRINCESS showcases a young band on the edge of critical life changes, GOOD GIRL waves from the other side of the aftermath. PRINCESS is shot through with caffeinated anxiety that could only accompany watching a long-term relationship transition into a long- distance one, and GOOD GIRL processes the heartbreak from a California zip code. For Cowboy Boy, growing is part of the process even when miles threaten to make them seem small.
Includes unlimited streaming of GOOD GIRL
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
Sometimes I like to imagine what it would feel like
To be pretty enough
That you don’t have to wonder if that’s the reason
They saw you naked and won’t call
Isn’t it crazy how two people can have opposite perceptions
Of the same situation
Now I stand in the mirror before taking a shower
Trying to envision what you see
Now I’m twisted contorting and finding the angle
You got sick of seeing me
Somebody told me you won’t know how bad it hurts until you do it
And I should’ve believed them
Cause now I wanna be your pet
Hold me like your baby
I don’t wanna be ugly
I wanna be your pet
Forever
In my head I’m still fifteen
Eating half of all my meals
Unreciprocated feelings
It’s not you it must be me
I know that I’m only human and I need validation
I’m cursing insecurity
Cause I still want somebody to tell me they want me
To silence my fragility
I’m feeling stupid
Didn’t know how much I’d need it til I had it
And now I can’t have it
Cause now I wanna be your pet
Hold me like your baby
I don’t wanna be ugly
I wanna be your pet
Say you think I’m pretty
Take my heels off for me
I wanna be your pet
Performing for affection
Craving your attention
I wanna be your pet
Hold me like your baby
I don’t wanna be ugly
I wanna be your pet
Forever
A lovely album from start to finish. So good I bought it twice ( first digitally , then on CD ) . Immediately before writing this little blurb I also got the t-shirt. Standout song writing and a beautifully resonant voice. Poormonger
Discovered Mia a few years ago and immediately fell head over heels in love with the album, so I knew I wanted this for my growing CD collection bikinigrrl
