Bossi's "She’s Wild" is a powerful piece from her album “Tell All the Other Girls.” The first thing to know is that Bossi is a strong woman who has gone through dark times with breast cancer twice, and since she overcame it, her music has become a fearless exploration of the female experience—her own and the stories of other women that inspire both deep admiration and fiery rage.
"She's Wild" is a story of empowerment that tells the journey of a woman who escapes an abusive relationship to forge her own path. “They branded her with letters / Burned her at the stake / They tried to steal her body / Cause her spirit was too great / She’s Wild.”
This song has great historical and contemporary relevance because it captures the oppression and centuries of historical injustice that women have experienced, such as the burning at the stake to which many of them were subjected, the social humiliation of when they were not considered citizens, and some of the most recent ones, such as gender violence with alarming numbers around the world and the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
In addition to the message, Bossi's interpretation is on another level. Her voice is capable of transmitting the agony, anguish, and injustice expressed in the lyrics, which is accompanied by constant percussion and emotive instrumentation that create a sense of urgency and triumph.
Songs like "Kiss Me Goodbye," "Good Bones," and "Run Baby Run" are part of the EP that, in general terms, vindicates female experiences from struggle, oppression, and patriarchy, but also addresses femininity, love, joy, and self-realization.
But nothing would be Bossi's music without a little social action. During the pandemic, she was chosen by the United Nations to produce, co-write, and perform an original anthem for their World Mental Health Day campaign. Additionally, she has performed at the Near Future Summit and Deepak Chopra’s Never Alone Summit alongside Jewel, Russell Brand, and Ozomatli.
She also founded House of Bossi, an artist residency program, concert series, and creative space that incubates, showcases, and supports talents ranging from musicians to visual artists, storytellers, and activists.
Bossi’s “She’s Wild” is a masterful blend of storytelling, social commentary, and artistic production. It not only stands out as a highlight of “Tell All the Other Girls,” but also as a significant contribution to the ongoing fight for women’s rights and representation.
