Chrissi 'Lipo' by Denisha Anderson

David Knight - 17th Aug 2022

Chrissi's marvellous takedown of an unworthy lover in Lipo gets a charming and witty treatment by 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. And although the subject is serious she treats it in a smooth, laidback fashion, addressing her ex with an 'this is your problem, not mine' attitude. That makes it all the more impactful.

Anderson gets the mood exactly right, by putting Chrissi in a naturalistic situation with her friends, echoing some classic R&B videos along the way. Chrissi and her pals are enjoying each other's company, and aided by the choreography by Claudia Lois, and some fun set-ups, this is playful as it spreads it's serious message.

“When I initially heard the song, I was gassed at the bar 'Fxck your feelings'," says Anderson. "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 set-ups 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.”
