Fervent readers and movie buffs know Holly Golightly, the country-turned-cafe-society girl from Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Golightly (played by the unforgettable Audrey Hepburn) has an independent air, an entrancing one; she’s a character who literary analysts have studied as, among other things, a feminist icon. Now Brooklyn avant-blues-indie artist Mima Good has released a single named after Golightly, using clips from Breakfast at Tiffany’s to create a slowed-down groove which accompanies her musings on her own femininity. In her press release for "Holly Golightly", Raechel Rosen — the brains behind Mima Good — says: "To me, [Golightly] is a charming metaphor for surviving under capitalist patriarchy and making it look good as hell." And while toxic masculinity and misogyny still exist in New York and beyond, artists like Mima will take influence from icons like Golightly and keep surviving, too. Take a listen to the single. below. – Will Sisskind
