La “Chory de Mexico”, Girl Ultra, is at it again and with each release she unearths new dimensions of nostalgia, heartbreak, and feminine power. This time with “Tomás”, she cuts deeper than ever before and we can’t stop dancing. Teaming up with the electro-funk architects Chromeo and the radiant Empress Of, the Mexican indie-pop enchantress delivers a track that feels like a diary entry written under the pulse of a disco ball. “Tomás” is more than a song—it’s an invocation, a soul-stirring meditation on the archetype of a man we can’t seem to forget, even as we try to free ourselves from him. His name becomes a chant and a play on words, a haunting refrain that anchors us to the past while the music dares us to dance toward our release.
Directed by Girl Ultra herself and shot with an almost voyeuristic intimacy by Ricardo Martinez Roa, the music video drips with mood and movement. The cinematic tension mirrors the emotional complexity of the song—mourning and seduction, disdain and devotion, all swirling in one hypnotic groove. Recorded in Chromeo’s analog dreamscape of a studio in Los Angeles, the track seamlessly weaves their signature synth-laced flair with Girl Ultra’s sultry distortion and Empress Of’s lush, bilingual vocals. The result is a sound both timeless and utterly fresh: a spectral slow burn for the brokenhearted and the bold.
What’s most powerful about “Tomás” is how it feels like Girl Ultra’s full-circle moment. From saving pesos to see Chromeo live in her teens, to now co-producing a track with them, she embodies the dreamer who breaks through the glass of the stage and builds her own soundboard. This release follows her acclaimed blush EP and marks a bold new chapter—one that is genreless, fearless, and deeply personal.
This summer, she brings her spectral seduction on the road with the Blushing Tour, crossing continents from the rooftops of France to the dancefloors of Miami and New York. Whether spinning DJ sets in Europe or performing with a full live band in North America, Girl Ultra continues to blur the lines between singer, director, producer, and curator of emotion. “Tomás” might be the man we’re trying to forget—but this song is one we’ll remember.
