Turn up the volume for Boorloo/Perth-based, queer, pop rock artist Rosalie Chilvers, returning with her new single ‘TINY TSHIRTS’, alongside its accompanying music video. Whiplashing gusto and glitter, this glossy pop-rock anthem brings an unapologetic energy, built for the night out and louder feelings.
‘TINY TSHIRTS’ is transforming heartbreak and confusion into something dramatic and cathartic, fuelled by sharp, punchy guitars that are explosive, loud and self-assured. This is accompanied by vocals and sassy lyricism that are pointed, gritty and relatable, embodying the confusion and fierceness that a first heartbreak brings. Brought together by the talented Reece Lenzo and Calvin Bennett, this tune is a glittery gut punch.
Rosalie Chilvers extends the story through visual storytelling, capturing the toxicity and lingering judgement that inspired the track. As explained by the artist: “’TINY TSHIRTS’ is a song about moving on from a toxic relationship dynamic, not only with your ex but with their family. The song was directly inspired by the night 2 years after our breakup, my ex’s mum accidentally liked an insta photo of mine and it brought me right back into those feelings of judgement…Sometimes the ultimate answer to your problems is to put on a tiny t-shirt and go out with your friends.”
The music video traces the spiral set off by a single Instagram like, beginning with the moment she sees it and calls her friends over. From getting ready together to heading out into a blur of club lights and shaky camera angles, the night unfolds in a haze of drunken chaos and disorientation. Through it all, it is her girlfriends who steady the moment, helping her let go and actually enjoy the night.
