girli + support
As she launches her third album era, girli is embracing unvarnished authenticity with a clear sense of purpose. Earlier this year, she started writing songs with a specific goal – namely, to make an album in nine months – and documented the entire process for her fans. “That was very intentional because I wanted to strip away the faux mystery of the album rollout,” she says. “Every step of the way, I’ve been very heart-on-my-sleeve. Like, ‘Guys, this is what I’m doing, and it’s building towards an album.'”
She’s also going back to basics by refusing to censor herself. “When I started making music, I had this huge political spark that got slightly dimmed when people began telling me how to be ‘more commercially viable’,” she says. “But everything’s changed now – fans really get behind artists who actually stand for something.” Going forward, girli intends to be even more outspoken about issues she really believes in: feminism, queer rights, trans rights, immigrant rights, the terrifying rise of the far right. The artist who sang “when we touch, we touch to fuck the patriarchy” on her brilliant second album, Matriarchy, is ready to grab the mike in all senses.
Her upcoming third album ‘it’s just my opinion’, released on 8th May 2026, is a box-fresh and sonically cohesive affair that reconnects girli with her musical roots. As a teenager growing up in North London, she absorbed the frenetic energy and spiky hooks of the indie sleaze era, so she’s channelled its chaotic spontaneity into music that pulses with the thrum a sweaty gig venue. It’s classic girli alt-pop that harks back to her teenage nights out in Camden and Shoreditch, but with a razor-sharp 2026 edge. She describes the anthemic first single ‘Better Undressed’, which she wrote Australian indie musician G-Flip and their producer Aidan Hogg, as a “fun but sad song about wanting to hook up again after a breakup.”
