cool girl island’s “do not disturb” Video Is A Pure Visual Masterpiece

Fast-rising singer-songwriter, cool girl island, drops a visually stunning music video for her recent single “do not disturb” (airplane mode). Produced by the artist herself, the clip, co-created with ALX112, instills European aesthetics and focuses on the value of spending time alone.

Talking about her shooting experience, cool girl island says: “We were in the middle of nowhere in France, we traveled on so many trains for hundreds of km. I felt like we had quite an authentic French experience and we filmed things quite European style in the sense that we didn’t have any concrete storyboard. We wanted to capture a feeling that’s not forced.” 

She continues: “We missed our train while touring these little French cities/towns and it was a hectic experience in the most peaceful setting. We played around with a lot of ideas, a lot of which weren’t used and settled with this moody, more visualizer type of music video. I am very happy with it and grateful for the experience.”

The song was written during the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the artist craving her own company despite finally having the “permission” to leave her house; “Sometimes I would surprise myself when I listen back to the lyrics I wrote because I’m quite a private person. Most days it’s a feel-good, self-love kind of song, other days it makes me strangely sad…”

With a natural talent for narrating stories, cool girl island expertly crafts her writing: “For you, I used up all my tissues/ But still I’ve got bigger issues/ “Calm down”/ Then made myself some tea (ooh)/ I think it’s time to let it go/ And I think it’s time for you to leave (leave).” The California native sings: “Now I crave only me at home/ No, I don’t crave you no more (no more)/ Please don’t call/ Phone’s on airplane mode/ No, I don’t crave you no more (no more).”

“do not disturb” (airplane mode) is the latest in a series of independent releases by the up-and-coming artist, including “inside (out)” and “forever stay never.” Her music is like a lazy afternoon or a 2am night-in by oneself, transmitting powerful emotions to her audience. cool girl island is currently working on an EP. Her next single is set to come out in April.
