She and Ren left the same management at around the same time and have been supporting each other on their independent road. They have a couple of new collaborations coming out soon. She is another force of nature. Taking her power back Izzy! And giving fair warning.
Awesome! Looking forward to the new collaborations, Frances!
The piano accompanist is doing an exceptional job of listening to her and timing each note for optimizing the effect.
I see this as her speaking to her former "puppet master" and she's cutting off the fingers that pull the marionette strings.
Her control over her vocals is exquisite. It expresses so many nuances of emotion.
Agree, Chinchilla pianist Zeonkeys is an impressive talent in his own right and adds so much to the live versions of her songs. He also often plays keyboard at Chinchilla's live concerts and festival gigs. Zeonkey is also an arranger and worked with Chinchilla to arrange the live version of Fingers. He has also often works with Emeli Sandé, and has supported her on tour and in TV show appearances (The Graham Norton Show for example).
Thanks for sharing Holly. And for the info, ARO. I’ll keep an eye out for Zeonkeys.
@@AllRandomOutcomes that is welcome information and I, too, will be checking out his work.
Some reactors display over the top golden retriever energy. That can be fun to watch. But I appreciate your relaxed and honest reviews. Especially for such a nuanced song as this. Thx
This young phenomenal lady does her own outfits. It's all part of her vibe. The most refreshing talent I've seen in a long time and I'm a 64 year old male Luddite 😅🎶🎵🍯🤌🙏✌️🐝🍀
Good stuff ain’t it!
To me, it's not so much as a song about 'revenge' as it is a reaffirmation to *herself* that no one will be able to put their hands on her again, and if they try, she'll have "her keys in her knuckles" like *she* has to. It's not 'I will hurt you like you hurt me', instead it's 'I will never let you hurt anyone, including me, again..so just don't try'. If her abuser doesn't abuse, she'll let it go..but, if they abuse again..Heaven hath no fury.
Agreed!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it Gail! Appreciate it.
❤ #chinchilla 🖤 she designs her own hats and outfits 🌼
She designs her hats, not the outfits. She has said this in interviews. The outfit worn here is credited to Alvaro Mars.
Thanks for the info guys!
Her style, her voice, her image shes a M F Diamond.
She designs and actually makes her clothes and looks. She’s not only an incredible singer, but also somehow a fashion designer haha
Good to see her expressing herself in multiple disciplines!
Queen Chinny 🔥 ❤ 🇬🇧
Really glad you have put up another reaction. Her voice is mesmerising. Plus I have to point out. I am being very patient. Freckled angels. Ren. Its alright. Hint hint lol
You are being very patient! I’ve got 5 or 6 reactions recorded to post. But next time I record, I’ll do at least one of those.
@IzzyIzenstain I do appreciate that I am one of many asking for you do this or that. So thanks for keeping me updated hehe 😉
The outfit reminds me of the characters in Alice in Wonderland. She's a power house unto herself. She has now gone Independent. So I'm pushing her and ask others to also to keep her growing strong.
It does have those vibes, Cheryl! Looking forward to checking out more of her work.
Again love the honesty. I personally feel connected to her lyrics as empowerment. Not to hurt anyone but more like I know I’m worth it so don’t even try to mess with me that way. (Past abusive relationships so there’s that). Though I believe she is actually referring more to her break off from the label at the time.
This song actually took me a few times to warm up to. I find that many songs I end up really liking long term are often ones that don’t resonate at first blush.
Thanks Carla! Thanks for sharing too! It’s cool that songs can have multiple meanings ain’t it. For the audience and even the artist. Songs I love and songs I’ve written all seem to have new or deeper meanings as the years pass by.
I often have a similar response. Some of my favourite records took a while.
Izzy you are so laid back, I do like that. I think maybe she is fighting back from some abuse, taking her power back. NOW try to check out her appearance on the Voice UK, she is really great in that live as well, she just has an amazing voice and stage presence, lots of confidence in herself, love it. i saw it on your screen at the end of this track, enjoy, I'll be watching for it.
Thanks Beverly! I’ll check that out soon. Got another 5 or 6 to post, but I’ll do it on my next round of recording.
Close your eyes and feel the passion in her voice.
She's got some pipes! Looking forward to checking more out.
@@IzzyIzenstain Check out “Elements”. She gets feisty in that one. I think you’ll like it. That was her first single when she was signed, before they dropped her after Covid.
I don't know her background, but I think it is a great metaphor. Nobody knows a domestic abuser usually better than the victim, and the abuser aims to remove that power from their target immediately. Sadly, this disempowerment through mental and physical abuse shames and even normalises the victims experiences. Here, she is recovering her power and she is removing the fingers one by one. Each time he takes takes a tactically swipe, she is learning how to disarm it. She doesn't need a knife to remove his arsenal, she is her own armoury. This 'man' is nothing without his control on her.
For you, for the song and for the algorithm 😇
Little girl gone !
I’ve reacted to 2 versions of Little Girl Gone. I need to put them in a chinchilla playlist, but if you go back through my videos they’re maybe 15-18 back.
REVENGE pure and simple
Chinchilla is a great producer and her "studio" tracks are fun but my favorite Chinchilla performances are those where production is minimal and we can experience the power and control of her voice.
That’s funny - my husband said the same thing (Not crazy about the song but dug her performance).
Haha! Great minds think alike and all that!
🔥🔥❤️🏴🏴
Apparently it was written in response to how she was treated by a record label in the past? It wasn't directed necessarily as revenge against a person, but the concept of being taken advantage of and mistreated.
Fingers (Live and Studio versions) are from Chinchilla's Moon Maintenance for Dummies EP. This was released whilst she was under her old management and label - a year or two before leaving both. Little Girl Gone was released after Chinchilla left her previous management - her previous label chose not to pick the track up though, so Chinchilla released it herself as an independant artist.
Interesting stuff! Thanks guys!
That's a trip. I dated a guy named Izzy who looked alot like you. Actually completely forgot about him until this moment.
Haha! Are you sure it wasn't me? :D
@@IzzyIzenstain Lol. Well he was American and he'd be like 48 years old now.
@@RobinJusticeWoods Yeah, not me then :D
Awakenings EP
🔥🔥🔥
You look absolutely mesmerized by the end. This is more about getting away from the trash people. It’s not revenge.
Something about it has stuck with me. I think I'm gonna have to check out the studio version.
@@IzzyIzenstain look in to what Ren and chinchilla went through.
@@IzzyIzenstainThe live is so much better. The studio version falls flat, to myself.
@@IzzyIzenstain The studio version is not as passionate.
Spot on with the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang reference.
Personally I don’t see it as revenge; rather it’s more about her own redemption. She’s not the same broken person that this person remembers- from the sounds of it ,and from personal experience, a narcissist with control issues. I think she is metaphorically cutting off their fingers by cutting off her response to them ( caving in to their manipulation) and, for the above described person, that means cutting off 1) attention and 2) responding to their behavior.
Even though she APPEARS to be the same, meets in the “ same/ favorite spot” she will not only allow for this person to pull HER under, she makes sure that they KNOW that she won’t let OTHERS be subjected to what they put her through. As a woman we are VERY familiar with keeping your keys in your fingers and looking behind ourselves, period. Karma won’t be from Chinchilla- she’s grown and moved forward- but it WILL come, so maybe they should think twice before they do the same thing to anyone else.
I like that idea, of cutting off the attention etc. and the metaphor of cutting off fingers. Loosens the grip of the abuser. Well, removes it or makes it impossible, I guess. Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Amazing ❤
The subject of this song was a “breakup” with her previous record label
I know she's said that - nice to get the dig in for her, no doubt - but let's be honest, it's about a previous, abusive "romantic" relationship. You don't feel the need to put your keys in your knuckles because of a contractual dispute.
I believe she might be singing about someone who hurt her physically mentally.
Could be both, you’re right.
Revenge for abuse..."keep your keys in your knuckles like I have to," and "tell me where your gun gone" --- the song is about someone who's been abused and is out for revenge. Yikes! 😅
Yikes indeed! 😅😁
The video gave me vibes of Jack the Ripper..... Female version? Chinchilla's voice is very unique.....Love it.... How is the UB40 cover going? Thanks Izzy
Yeah, I can see the Jack The Ripper vibes. Well, I’ve only been listening to it so far, refreshing my memory and thinking what I could do with it. Might take a bit of time. Spent too much time listening to Signing Off! Forgot how much I love that album! Ain’t listened to UB40 for years.
@@IzzyIzenstainAs a teen i loved to listen to UB40, Specials, Madness, The Beat any band that had a Sax and trumpet. Singing Off is a great album to chill out to, love Food For Thought. UB40 need more recognition for what they achieved back in the 80s/90s.
@@Barzo7 Have you seen there's a new series coming out set around those times and that music? "This Town" written by Steven Knight who did Peaky Blinders. I'm thinking of reacting to it, if I can work out how to cut it down for CZcams.
@@IzzyIzenstain I will check that out! Have you watched Dance Craze? Thanks
@@Barzo7 I haven't. It's a Documentary about 2 Tone right? I'm aware of it. I'll check it out.
Elements lyric video (which she is in) is a better song, in my opinion.
I’ll put it on the list, Spike! Nice one!
it's either revenge, or just plain ole mutilation for kicks!
Haha! Yeah, maybe a little from column A, a little from column B.
Izzy, I think it’s more about physical abuse, or maybe an attack. I think that’s something a majority of men struggle to find relatable. A majority of women can relate to it all too well. 😶❤️
It could be Abby. And I think you're right about men not being fully able to understand that.
Consider giving the song a second listen and watch, imagining a woman who has been abused/SA’d etc. that’s where this is coming from. I think 99% of women feel this song to their core, its harder for men to understand, especially if you’re not an abuser or haven’t been around that stuff 🫶🏼
“Who designs these clothes” - that would be Chinchilla. She makes the hats, and decides her style.
Unlike a lot of Chinchillas stuff I think, this is not actually her lyrics for a change. This was lyrics by Daisy Matilda Bertenshaw. But they really fit her bad ass and female empowerment vibe.
4:39 that moment when I start hoping a reactor doesn’t pause….:)
Subject matter - no, not revenge, it’s making sure someone will never hurt you or anyone else again. It’s not cutting their fingers off to hurt, it’s so they will never pull her or anyone else down again.
It’s saying “I will not be your victim again. You bled me dry once, and not again. I’m not the same person I was when you hurt me. I’ve moved on”
Thats what I get from it - definitely NOT revenge.
In this case the designer is Alvaro Mars, Chinchilla confirmed this in an interview. Chinchilla works with both established and up & coming fashion designers and stylists, but always maintains executive control over her image and style. Chinchilla's headwear can be self made and/or stylised (as in Little Girl Gone and Fingers Live) but she will also source such from specialist artistic milliners or costumers (Elements for example) depending on the image she is trying to portray.
@@sputukgmail - Daisy = Chinchilla, song lyric credits can be confusing as they may be credited in an artist's name rather than their stage name.
Consider giving it another listen and watch, imagine a woman having been abused/SA’d, that’s what this is about. She’s just taking her power back. I think 99% of women feel this one to their core, it’s harder for men to get, especially if you’ve not been around such abuse. I’ve spent my life walking with my keys in my knuckles to protect myself, were at an immediate physical disadvantage, there much more depth to just that one line that what you first hear. 🫶🏼
I'll give it another go, bearing in mind what you've said. Thanks Sally!
