When GIRLI announced a duo of headline shows in London and Glasgow respectively earlier in the year, she mentioned some “new choons” to go with it – and now she’s gone and delivered with new number ‘Not That Girl’
Taking things back a bit in terms of pace, ‘Not That Girl’ is a contemplative disection of all those haters, and a defiant stamp as to who GIRLI is and what she stands for. Brimming with direct barbs and melodic croons over electro beats, it’s another bow in GIRLI’s cap – and that cap just continues to grow.
Speaking about ‘Not That Girl’, GIRLI said:
“Not That Girl is a shout out to the smirks I get on the tube for wearing what I wear, the horror in strangers’ faces when they see my pink hair, the sneering guys outside the pub who think that I care. It is the quiet knowledge that as long as I continue to be who I am and not the girl that others would like me or expect me to be, that I will overall come out on top. It’s a mockery of mockery, a song of low-key empowerment in knowing that you’re the only one who understands why you do what you do.”
Chatting with us last year, GIRLI elaborated more on the variety she’s now laying out. “I think I really like it being eclectic, I think that reflects my personality. I don’t think as an artist you should make one sort of music. A lot of artists choose to only release one style but then make loads of different stuff on the side but me, I make it and want people to hear it all.”

‘Not That Girl’ is the first track unveiled from GIRLI’s new EP ‘Feel OK’, set to land on April 11th and featuring an appearance from none other than Lethal Bizzle.
