GIRLI

"playful feminist DIY pop embodies new era of indie" GUARDIAN



Tipped by many including Dork, the Guardian, Telegraph, and Clash. London’s most unapologetic, Gen-Z popstar GIRLI shares details of her upcoming ‘Hot Mess’ EP. The EP’s title track is available to buy and stream now via PMR - https://GIRLI.lnk.to/HotMessPR - with the full EP landing Tuesday September 26th.



“Hot Mess is about all the times I’ve been talked down to, patronised, told that i should change my songs, my look, my presentation… just because I’m a woman making music and not a guy.” The title track from GIRLI’s ‘Hot Mess’ EP is her rallying cry; a mantra against the patriarchal music industry. “Women are allowed to be loud, to speak their mind, to wear what they want and not be shamed for it, to be taken seriously whatever makeup they have on their faces or however much of their cleavage is showing. This song is my way of saying that!"



The ‘Hot Mess’ EP is a four-track collection of punchy aggro-pop gems. Described by i-D as “one part riot grrrl with a sprinkling of cybergoth on top”, GIRLI’s tongue-in-cheek lyricism paired with future-facing production has caught global attention over the last 12 months. ‘Hot Mess’ is her latest offering since the release of ‘Feel Ok’, a collab between GIRLI and grime legend Lethal Bizzle.



November see's GIRLI back on the road and doing a free show at the Purple Turtle.
