With 12 tracks that dive into everything from personal struggles to societal issues, this album is a raw and emotional ride that you won’t want to miss.
In an exclusive chat, Girli breaks down each track, revealing the inspiration behind her lyrics and the creative process that brought them to life. “I wrote this song by myself sat on a sofa in my producer’s studio in East London. It’s about the discomfort of your twenties, the confusion of not knowing who you are or where you’re going,” she explains. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the depth of emotion packed into this album.
One standout track, ‘Slap on the Wrist’, tackles the fear that women and gender minorities face in a world rife with male violence. Girli states, “It was a response to a tired, outdated system that seems to be getting worse rather than better for women.” This anthem is for anyone who has ever felt unsafe walking home alone, keys clutched tightly in their fist.
On ‘Bones’, Girli reflects on a past relationship with a comphet ex who struggled with her sexuality. “It’s about the pain of being with someone who’s not comfortable in their queer identity even though they love you,” she shares. This track hits hard, showcasing the complexities of love and identity in a world that often fails to understand them.
Then there’s ‘First Crush’, a nostalgic nod to her teenage years and the confusion of discovering her sexuality. “It’s about the first crush I had on a girl in school, when I was 14,” Girli reminisces. This track is not just a personal story; it’s a reflection of the lack of representation for queer love stories in the media during her formative years.
With collaborations featuring artists like Maude Latour and G Flip, Girli’s it’s just my opinion is a celebration of queer identity, vulnerability, and the messy realities of love. So grab your headphones and get ready to dive deep into Girli’s world—this album is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt the highs and lows of love.
