Find out all about Girli's new release.
Girli runs through her punchy new EP, 'Hot Mess' track by track - from her patriarchy smashing single 'Hot Mess' to introspective closer, 'Can I Say Baby?'.
Hot Mess
I wrote 'Hot Mess' because I was sick of being talked down to by guys in the music industry who thought that they could mansplain the meaning of my songs and tell me what I should and shouldn't wear, how I should conduct myself in public, that I should wear more makeup etc. when I saw friends who were boys in bands acting way more reckless than me and never being told what to do. Ask any woman in music, and she'll tell you a similar story guaranteed. I wanted to write a song that said: "FUCK YOU I'M ALLOWED TO BE MESSY, I'M ALLOWED TO BE LOUD, I'M ALLOWED TO BE OPINIONATED AND YOU DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO TELL ME I CAN'T."
Mr 10pm Bedtime
This song is about a neighbour I had living below me in the first flat I rented away from home. I had a few parties that were a bit loud, and he made my life a misery, sending angry letters, trying to get me evicted by complaining to the landlord constantly, saying I was disturbing his (10pm) bedtime. I hated him. But one day I had this thought; doesn't he remember what it was like to be young? To make noise? To make mistakes? I wrote this song feeling kinda sorry for him more than anything else because he grew old and grouchy and I was having fun.
