After 10 years, New Zealand artist Gin Wigmore freed herself from, as she puts it, ‘the restraints of a major label’. She explains: “I’m not here to bash or belittle the story that is my past, as I had a very cool ride… for the most part. I am just really happy to be in a new chapter where I’m the HBIC.”

HBIC is also the title of Wigmore’s rocking new single. It stands for Head Bitch In Charge. In her own words: “This is a chapter that presents a true freedom with time, subject, implementation and expectation for my music.”

Now that she has complete control, she decided to release a new song roughly every six weeks. Since the start of this scheme, last Spring, HBIC is her fifth single. It’s a raucous celebration of her new-found freedom. And by the sound of it, Wigmore isn’t prepared to ever give it up again.
