Everyone’s favourite pink punk has returned with a new video for ‘Mr 10pm Bedtime’, a song about a neighbour whose self-disciplined sleep curfew was often disrupted by the more liberal lifestyle of GIRLI. The message here is positivity and how that overcomes negativity every time, which we can hear through the bouncing rhythms, feel-good pop melodies and catchy lyrics reminiscent of No Doubt with a modernist punk edge à la Pixx or Suzi Wu. The video itself also has to bring a smile to the watcher’s face, it’s purposefully silly with GIRLI’s ever engaging personality at the heart of it. As the London talent tells us: “This video is FUN VS LAME, PINK VS GREY, GIRLI VS MR 10PM BEDTIME. The conclusion is that light and colour and positivity and fun conquer darkness and dullness and negativity every time. I loved the idea of the split screen and being able to see both characters interacting and clashing with each other from either side of the wall, like in the video for Walk This Way by Run DMC & Aerosmith. Look out for me in a grey wig, flying tutus and some dodgy dance moves.” Take a lead from GIRLI’s pink-papered book, don’t take life too seriously - have fun! - HT
