Written as a powerful anthem of resilience and self-confidence, ‘skinny (itty bitty)’ is a particularly relevant release, especially given the nostalgic cultural landscape around us. Noticing the skinny bodies trend coming back, talented songstress Lozi had to reckon with painful memories of negative body images and unsettling eating disorders, reminding herself what it means to fully accept oneself and break free from arbitrary societal constructs. Lozi does so in musical form, sharing an evocative and punchy alt-pop cut that’s bound to resonate with a large audience out there.
That’s why ‘skinny (itty bitty)’ is such a crucial offering. Featuring the expert production of German duo Leve & Bo, the record flourishes among a flurry of emotional textures and dry electronic beats, an aural background that leaves ample space for Lozi’s cathartic, hypnotic vocals. Boasting a malleable yet precise tone, the Stockholm-based creative has fully risen to the occasion, delivering a world-class performance. What’s more, ‘skinny (itty bitty)’ is taken from the overarching EP ‘Can I like me now?’, out now.
Delving deeper into the song, Lozi explains: “When I was growing up, I wasn’t immune to the insane amounts of messages about how a woman’s body should look. And I felt the ‘trend’ coming back of extreme thinness, and I was getting re-triggered by it all. It feels ridiculous to have trends for bodies.”
