The 1975 have released the video for their new single, “Girl.” The 1975’s Matthew Healy has previously said that people thought the band was selling out in their “Sex” video. Healy explained that, because of the unexpected stylistic change, there were talks of the band selling out.

If you’ve ever followed them closely, that couldn’t be any further from the truth. The video is essentially in response to all that talk.

“Twinned with our love of 80’s pop, its innocence, grandiosity and conceptual ideas in music videos – we wanted to make a video about a record label’s attempt at enforced conformity. We got our mate Adam down to a studio in Los Angeles at the start of our USA tour, got 4 models and made a video about us not wanting to make a video.”

 

The single is out November 11th on Dirty Hit.
