Who said girl power was a thing of the past?

In the 18 years since the Spice Girls' first album dropped, a long line of U.K. girl groups — and one very popular boy band — have followed the trail to global superstardom they blazed. And while the U.K. has the most robust history of female pop groups, women are riffing on the format all over the world. Here are some new girl groups to obsess over, along with a a couple well-loved favorites, like U.K. X-Factor champs Little Mix and K-pop crossover stars 2NE1.
Pearls Negras — Rio de Janiero, Brazil
Via facebook.com
Members: Mariana Alves, Alice Coelho, and Jeni Loyola
Sounds like: Twerk-tastic baile funk
Why they're killing it: The 15- and 16-year-old girls make tough, rattling songs about everything from sweet crushes to life in the slums to political messages aimed at their president. And on the side, they work full time as actresses.
Key track: "Pensando em Você"
