Streaming: Work Wife – “Centerfold”: Sharp Pop with an Edge

Work Wife are a Brooklyn-based indie pop project led by Meredith Lampe, known for crafting emotionally rich songs that sit at the intersection of bedroom pop, indie rock, and 2000s nostalgia. Emerging from New York’s vibrant DIY scene, the band has quickly built a reputation for their intimate storytelling, shimmering guitars, and disarmingly honest lyricism. With a sound that’s both dreamy and direct, Work Wife transform everyday vulnerability into something powerful and universal.

“Centerfold” is a bittersweet anthem about visibility, identity, and self-worth in a world obsessed with appearances. Carried by Lampe’s tender yet defiant vocals, the track marries jangly guitars and crisp percussion with introspective lyricism that feels both confessional and cinematic. It’s a song that peers behind the glossy surface, finding beauty in imperfection — and power in being seen on your own terms.
