Gen Z lesbians: if you’re not looping ‘Soprano’ by Molly Grace yet… What are you doing?

By Val Hernández

TikTok might’ve spoiled most of ‘Soprano’ before it even dropped, but honestly? No complaints here. If anything, the full version of Molly Grace’s new single confirms what fans have suspected since ‘Heaven Sent’: this woman was made for pop stardom.

On the surface, ‘Soprano’ is just a high-energy banger — but listen closely and you’ll catch a far more sensual subtext — or, should I say, direct text, lol. With lyrics that lean into innuendo but a delivery that feels cheeky more than explicit, the song walks a clever line: it’s openly sexual, casually WLW, and never uncomfortable — even for asexual listeners like myself who often feel alienated by overly graphic entertainment.

The vocals, as usual with Molly, are the superstar. Her voice is clean and controlled and undeniably confident. She glides through harmonies, layered vocals, and breathy talk-singing,— all adding to the sultry-yet-playful tone of the track. And yes, she really does hold that chest-mix high note for nine whole beats. It’s a flex she should be flexin’.

One of my favourite bits comes right at the start: when she sings “low”, her voice actually drops into that deeper register — and then, when she announces she’s a soprano, she springs up an octave. It’s a textbook case of “text painting”, where the music literally does what the lyrics say. It’s smart, cheeky musical storytelling — and it totally matches the flirty energy running through the whole track. And while the word “soprano” here is definitely not about choir solos, it’s delivered with such flair you almost miss how filthy it is. Almost.

Lines like “Do re mi fa sol la ti DO you wanna get with me” show off Molly’s knack for wordplay — she’s clearly having fun with it, never taking herself too seriously, even while singing about being completely smitten. And then there’s “If she keeps doing what she’s doing then I’m gonna buy a ring” — which feels genuinely refreshing. It’s becoming more and more important to hear WLW tracks that aren’t cloaked in metaphors, hyper-sexualised, or veering into queerbait territory. Molly’s just out here living her full pop girl fantasy — and in doing so, she’s helping the girlies feel seen. Even us altos.

The production — a full, layered pop sound with a driving beat — gives the track its bounce. But even with a rich arrangement, the focus never drifts far from Molly’s vocals. She harmonises with herself like a one-woman choir and never loses control, even when the vocal lines get more experimental or rhythmically tricky. And if you were paying attention during ‘Heaven Sent’, you’ll catch the clever lyrical nod with the line about worshipping and it being “Sunday every day of the week” — a subtle tie-in to her earlier hit and a fun easter egg for loyal listeners.

While ‘Soprano’ doesn’t follow a strict narrative arc, it still tells a story — one of confidence, desire, and WLW joy. It’s not about explaining or justifying queer relationships. It’s just about revelling in them. As it should be.For fans of Chappell Roan, Lizzo, and Sabrina Carpenter, Molly Grace offers a similar pop palette — but firmly from a WLW perspective, and with a wink. If ‘Heaven Sent’ was the intro, ‘Soprano’ is the main event. And if this doesn’t earn her a breakout moment, I honestly don’t know what will.
