Toronto alt-pop artist City Builders returns with ‘Vengeful Spirit,’ a powerful, spooky, and harmonically rich anthem that reclaims the narrative around heartbreak, ghosting, and female rage.
Written after a fateful encounter at a Halloween party, the track captures what happens when personal pain transforms into collective empowerment.
Inspired by a conversation with another woman unknowingly dating the same emotionally unavailable man, Grace Turner (the force behind City Builders) was moved to speak up, warn her, and later channel the experience into this razor-sharp revenge pop single.
What began as a warning became a war cry: a reminder of the power in women sharing their stories.
‘Vengeful Spirit’ mesmerizes us with a stirring synth choir but then instantly changes the vibe of the track, by unleashing heavy rock beats and empowering vocals.
The idea for the track sparked while Grace was on tour with MONOWHALES, sharing demos with the band on long van rides.
The song caught the attention of producer Zach Zanardo and songwriter/manager Jordan Circosta, kicking off a new creative chapter for City Builders.
The final version of the track includes vocal contributions from Grace’s close friends, who gathered in her bedroom studio for a wine-fuelled recording session.
