Chrissi "Lipo"

Denisha Anderson

Lipo is Chrissi’s ode to body positivity, self-love and the trials of getting to the point where you believe you deserve it. A meeting of minds, the video depicts Chrissi and friends as they vent their romantic frustrations through catchy choreo that will undoubtedly be replicated by listeners, at every upcoming Chrissi live show. Denisha adds: “When I initially heard the song, I was gassed at the bar “Fxck your feelings”, I really felt that and knew I had to create something which was full of energy yet super empowering. Drawing inspiration from Destiny’s Child’s Bootylicious and Janet Jackson’s That’s The Way Love Goes, I wanted a similar home environment, where we see Chrissi and her friends vibing and enjoying each other’s company, dissecting F-Boys, and saying goodbye to that energy and hello to an evolved version of self. Utilising a variety of setups and working with a choreographer for the first time, I think we pulled it all together with smiles, energy and charisma to make a film I am really proud of.”
