Video Q&A: Factory Is Here To Shake Things Up
INTERVIEW
INTERVIEW
FACTORY ISN’T JUST RELEASING MUSIC - they’re rewriting the playbook. The all-female, four-piece collective — Halima, Von, Murielle, and Sophie Hintze — have spent nearly a decade building a friendship that’s as strong as it is inspiring, and now they’ve turned that foundation into one of the most exciting and self-sustained projects in music today. With the release of their debut collection FACTORY SUMMER, featuring “BLOODLINE,” “STICKY TONGUE,” and “BHH,” the group introduces their unique blend of alternative hip-hop, R&B, pop, and electro, while proving that their sound is just as fearless as their vision.
What makes FACTORY stand out is not only their genre-defying sound but their complete autonomy as artists. They are the first group of their kind to be entirely self-managed, self-produced, written, engineered, and performed — a bold rejection of industry expectations and a declaration of independence. “BLOODLINE” wrestles with themes of family, wounds, and empowerment; “STICKY TONGUE” celebrates chosen family and sisterhood; and “BHH” channels the collective’s love for late-night dance floors into a dark, sexy, and unapologetically queer anthem. Each track is a snapshot of their lived experiences, but the throughline is always their friendship, which has been the bedrock of their creativity and resilience for the past ten years.
Rejecting the tropes of competition and comparison often placed on women in music, they’re creating their own inclusive space, where collaboration and self-expression come first. With solo careers alongside their collective work, and a DIY ethos that threads through everything they do, FACTORY embodies the next generation of artists who refuse to wait for permission to take up space. They’ve built their own machine — and with FACTORY SUMMER, they’re inviting us all inside.
