CMU Approved
Approved: Cosima
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 3 October 2016
Cosima released her debut single, ‘Had To Feel Something’, in July, following it up a couple of weeks ago with ‘Girls Who Get Ready’. By maintaining the lush brilliance of that first track, the second proved that it had been no fluke.
“I wrote this song when I was seeing someone who had very strong opinions on what made a woman desirable”, she told The Fader. “I realised that I had also picked up very strong and destructive ideas on what made me deserving of love. I remember I was halfway through straightening my hair when I snapped and thought: ‘fuck this’. I washed my hair and stayed home. It wasn’t the straightening of the hair that got me – because its fun to shape-shift and transform – it was the fact that I was doing it for someone else, someone who didn’t even take time to think over a text”.
Releasing the video for the track last week, she added: “A few weeks ago I was on a video set surrounded by my friends, family and an incredible team. It was really special to see girls who are so wonderfully themselves, who I love together on screen, sat around my living room table in between shots. Directing this video was a dream, and together with some amazing people we made a video that I’m really proud of and excited to share”.
