Skull The Pierre’s New Single

Crumlin-based hip-hop musician Pierre Miguel Fonseca, aka Skull the Pierre, recently released a single that looks at ignorance and racism, interspersed with hope for unity and togetherness.

The track, ‘Racist Girl’, was written by the Swedish musician as a way of highlighting the importance of diversity, which Pierre is a proponent of, as his father was a political refugee from Colombia.

Commenting on the idea behind ‘Racist Girl’, Pierre told The Echo: “‘Racist Girl’ is a fictional story about a woman who is blind to the beauty of the world.

“She is blind to the beauty that different cultures, different foods, and different grooves bring.

“However, the story is told through the eyes of a wise and well-travelled man who is in love with this ‘racist girl’.

“Despite her prejudices, he sees the beauty in her and wants her to see it too.

“He sings, ‘It ain’t about the blood, nor the DNA, it ain’t no race, my racist girl’, in the hopes that she will open her heart and mind to the richness and diversity of the world.”

This is a concept that Pierre carries with him in his day-to-day life, thanks to the influence of his father.

“For me, this song is not only about celebrating diversity and unity but also about spreading love and understanding,” he said.

“My father, a political refugee from Colombia, instilled in me the importance of loving and accepting everyone from a young age.

“Spreading love is something that I feel compelled to do with almost all of my work, for I feel like I am in the incredibly privileged position of being able to do so.”

Pierre is an experienced live performer, having played gigs in The Workman’s Cellar, The Grand Social and The Bernard Shaw.

‘Racist Girl’ is now a proud part of Pierre’s setlist, and he’s hoping the song will have a lasting impact on listeners.

“‘Racist Girl’ was created with the intent of celebrating diversity, love, and unity,” he said.

“I hope my song can inspire understanding and love for one another, and if it gets people dancing whilst doing that – then I’m a happy man!

“The importance of dancing can never be understated, and it’s, to me, one of the greatest and most beautiful ways of showing love.”

‘Racist Girl’ is out now on all streaming platforms. For more information, visit HERE.
