John Glacier – Bond Girl
Following a breakthrough year that solidified her status as one of the UK’s most vital and singular creative voices, John Glacier returns with her first new music of 2026: the captivating new single “Bond Girl”, out now on Young.
Released in February 2025, Glacier’s acclaimed debut album, Like A Ribbon, marked a defining moment in the career of the Hackney-born rapper, producer, and poet. Seamlessly blending rap, electronic music, post-punk, ambient textures, and experimental songwriting, the album showcased Glacier’s uniquely diaristic, stream-of-consciousness approach and established her as an artist operating entirely in a lane of her own.
The album has since catapulted Glacier into a new stratosphere, both within music and beyond. Over the past year, she made her British Vogue debut, appeared on the cover of Hypebeast, starred in Prada’s Spring/Summer 2026 global campaign alongside Hunter Schafer, Damson Idris, Carey Mulligan, Nicholas Hoult, and graced the cover of HommeGirls, a milestone she references in the lyrics of the new single. Her growing status as a fashion icon has been cemented through collaborations and appearances with leading houses, including Burberry, Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Lacoste, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, JW Anderson, and Fendi.
She has also continued to appear in unexpected places through collaborations with artists across genres, including Blondshell (“T&A”), MJ Cole (“Move Time”), Montell Fish and dj gummy bear (“Ostentatious”), Jadasea (“Lemon Cherry”), and Jamie xx (“Dafodil”). Together, these achievements have further established Glacier as a rare multidisciplinary talent whose influence spans music, fashion, and contemporary culture alike.
Today, she opens a new chapter with “Bond Girl.”
In keeping with Glacier’s instinct for reinvention, “Bond Girl” trades some of the immersive atmospherics of Like A Ribbon for something more immediate and kinetic. Co-produced with contemporary hitmaking duo Take A Daytrip (Lil Nas X, Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, Dua Lipa), the track is built around a sun-soaked, club-ready pulse inspired by the early sounds of Detroit techno. Driven by booming low-end frequencies, a steady mid-tempo 4/4 rhythm, and shimmering oscillating melodies, “Bond Girl” finds Glacier embracing movement without sacrificing the hypnotic qualities that define her work.
The single arrives alongside a cinematic new music video directed by Léa Ceheivi. Inspired by classic spy thrillers, the visual casts Glacier as an enigmatic secret agent operating somewhere between heroine and villain. Moving effortlessly through a world of intrigue and excess, she evades, outsmarts, and ultimately triumphs over those attempting to take what’s hers, with explosive consequences.
With “Bond Girl,” John Glacier once again expands the boundaries of her ever-evolving creative universe. Following the critical success of Like A Ribbon and a year that saw her emerge as one of the UK’s most exciting cultural figures, Glacier enters 2026 with renewed momentum, continuing to push her artistry into bold and unexpected territory while reaffirming her place as one of the most uncompromising and unclassifiable talents of her generation.
