Meg Stalter, still very much in her pop era, is calling in reinforcements. Fresh off her remix of “Gay” featuring MUNA, the camp queen links up with Cailin Russo for a fierce new version of “BRR,” delivering another irresistible dose of defiance. The track sees Stalter ice out an unworthy suitor over a sharp and addictive electronic-pop production, with a new verse from Cailin Russo bringing her own edge to the mix.

Stalter, who rose to prominence through her breakout role in Hacks and the Broadway production of Oh, Mary!, has recently been carving out a music career of her own, pairing her razor-sharp comedic sensibility with production that moves between hyperpop and electronic dance. With more than 300,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, it is clear her passion for music is far more than a punchline.

Meanwhile, Cailin Russo has been weaving through pop culture for years. Long before “Bad Things,” her breakout single that soundtracked the finale of Heated Rivalry and climbed the charts, Russo first captured audiences starring in Justin Bieber’s “All That Matters” and “Confident” music videos. In 2021, she earned a Grammy nomination as a co-writer on Kanye West and The Weeknd’s “Hurricane,” and four years later struck viral success on TikTok with “Triple It.” Billboard has described her latest work as “fearless,” while outlets including Wonderland, Vogue, KEXP, and WWD have championed her evolving sound. On August 28, Russo continues that momentum with DON’T, the second installment in a three-part EP series.

With Russo at a creative high point, the collaboration feels perfectly timed. Together, she and Stalter turn “BRR” into something greater than a feature between two artists. It is the meeting of two distinct creative voices who have each built careers by refusing to be overlooked.
