As she steps into her most honest era yet, girli is showing the world that she isn’t afraid to speak her mind. The alt-pop provocateur has announced that her forthcoming third album, it’s just my opinion, will be released on May 8 via Believe Music.
Pre-order/pre-save for the album is available here.
Have you ever found that romanticizing your pain seems to be the only way to survive it? Her new single, “Romantic Sadness” transforms fragility into strength through a raw, emotional lens. With compelling lyricism and a cinematic production, the pop track is an anthem for turning your heartbreak into something more powerful.
Speaking on “Romantic Sadness,” girli explains, “This song is based on something my younger sister said to me. She was going through a breakup, and she said, ‘it’s hard when you can’t even romanticise the sadness anymore, and it’s just sad.’ I knew I had to write a song about that, about the way we try to romanticise our lives to cope with difficult things and seek comfort in feeling like our life is the plot of an arty indie movie. The lyrics are very visual; lipstick on a wine glass, smoking on a windowsill, Jane Austen novels and Robyn breakup songs. It’s about trying to run away from your sadness but it following you wherever you go.“
It’s just my opinion embodies girli’s fearless energy with a bold, razor-sharp twist. The upcoming album is grounded in the nostalgia, chaos and intimacy of the human experience. As an openly LGBTQ+ artist who is dedicated to using her platform, girli’s connection between her art and wider cultural conversations is her superpower. It’s just my opinion continues to touch on themes of identity, politics and mental health with a softer, more intimate perspective.
girli is hitting the road across North America this summer starting in Brooklyn, NY on June 11th. The 12-date tour will make its way to major cities including Chicago, LA, Toronto and more. Tickets and information for all of girli’s upcoming dates can be found here.
