With “Dade County Dreaming,” Camila Cabello seemingly treated fans to the last time we’ll hear the City Girls on a track (for now). While, the culture shaping duo is officially done, former member JT is just getting starting.
In March, the “Okay” rapper hinted at her debut solo project, City Cinderella. Yesterday (July 2), JT officially unveiled the forthcoming body of work’s cover art and release date.
“City Cinderella coming….7/19 ,” she wrote. “My hands shaking posting this. Juvies we here…...”
Users online were frozen with shock over the creative direction of the cover. Many quickly praised JT for taking an artistic risk.
“This one of the best covers I’ve seen from a rap girl this year ngl,” wrote one user.

Others pointed about the direct references subtly hidden in the photograph—specifically the incorporation of high fashion house, Margiela’s highly sought after Spring 2009 Cinderella Glass Heels.
“JT aligning her fashion interests with her solo music pursuits/positioning is so intentional,” penned another.

It’s clear brand alignment and communication of who exactly she wants to be as an artist going forward. From this cover, to the Mowalola directed “Okay” visuals and Beats partnership https://t.co/ucZUZqOVID

Although the official tracklist hasn’t been rolled out, JT has dropped several tracks including “Okay,” “Sideways,” and “No Bars,” all of which fans hope will make the final cut.
