It made my perception infinite and open to most music. I was fortunate to be exposed to so much variety and jump into it when I was so young. You’re originally from Texas, what elements of the state have you kept in your music?Īustin is a major platform for music. COWGIRL CLUE rhymes with Wu-Wu so I thought the transition would be seamless. I changed my name from Wu-Wu because it was too difficult for casual pronunciation and for people to find the music with that alias. The project and everything I am currently doing with it is just simply growing. However the name change does not distinguish a new project or band in any way. My skills are developing so the music is evolving. The creative output is actually the same.

You have evolved from “Wu Wu” to “Cowgirl Clue” recently, whats changed with your creative output during this transition? Growing up, I think we all experience this to some degree. At the end of the day we go back into our genie lamp alone to re-center. My character in the video is narrating the story of an attempt at escapism with our emotions by having fun and playing with our friends. I wanted the video to represent life moving and people coming in and out of each other’s lives. It’s a pre teen fantasy played out: was this what growing up was like for you? Or were you the girl in braces sitting at home reading Harry Potter hoping the fantasy would play out? The video portrays a woman dominating the suburban streets with a posse of skateboarders and followers behind her. I suppose the video took some influence to that as well, but my main influence for the video was the intro to Rocket Power. I wanted to make a song that acknowledged R&B, which became more mainstream in the late 80s/90s. “Confessions of a Genie” displays a softer side of COWGIRL CLUE through the rhythm and the tones of the track. Your new video for “Confessions of a Genie” was reminiscent to 90s suburban teen America, what made you want to return that era? If you could leave a trail of clues, where would they end up? Each song transports you into a lyrical trip which Alice in Wonderland herself might find hard to get out of. The mastermind behind Cowgirl Clue is self-identifying genie Ashley Clue, and I caught up with her after the release of her new video for “Confessions of a Genie.” Listening to Cowgirl Clue often feels as though you have ripped open a Barbie car, and out of which poured pink glitter-covered serenading fairies wearing thigh high white leather boots.
