Girli returns with "Nothing Hurts Like A Girl" and announces her second album, Matriarchy
Alt-pop icon girli has announced her second studio album, Matriarchy, and has launched the announcement with the release of galvanising new single, "Nothing Hurts Like A Girl".
Of the track, girli said: “"Nothing Hurts Like a Girl" is about the first time a girl broke my heart, and how it stung like no other heartbreak had ever stung before. This song is about my experience of sapphic relationships, their intensity, the higher highs, but lower lows. The love is deeper, but the heartbreak hits harder. It’s both wonderful and terrible at the same time.”
girli’s new era launched in September with the release of what is now revealed to be the album’s title track. "Matriarchy", the single, is an unapologetic “massive middle finger up to the homophobic, transphobic, misogynist, patriarchal society we live in”, and a bold and beautiful portrayal of being in love with a woman and the female gaze.
Alongside the release, girli reveals that she will be embarking on a world headline tour in 2024, kicking off in the US in February and hitting the UK and Europe in May and June, including a date at London’s iconic Heaven venue on 20 June.
Matriarchy is set for release on 17 May, and is available to pre-save now. For more information on Girli's upcoming tour dates, visit girlimusic.com.
