Think she is really good and has evolved in a way that I would not have predicted from those early bedroom pop singles. New album has super sturdy songcraft and lushhhh production. Very 60s/70s soft rock.

This is very catchy

And (despite what I said above about being 60s/70s) this sounds like stereolab or broadcast

Also the live ep she released last year was really impressive, hopefully she tours with this kind of set up for the new LP

She also seems to be pretty popular with gen z which is cool.

Yep, well good. Probably prefer Sling to Charm. But it’s great that she’s been picked up on 6 music and the like.

Getting a lot of buzz this. It’s taking me a while to get over the breathless singing. Some songs are just straight up unintelligible to me, although it’s definitely an artistic choice.
But it does feel like an honest pastiche and I appreciate that softly decadent 70s style, will give it another go with a poor man’s martini.

Funny this thread was created now, have literally just started listening to her new one. Not surprised the 60s/70s vibes considering El Michels Affair were involved in this one.

Tour next March, weirdly two dates in Manchester and Glasgow but only one in London? (I guess more will get added but still)

New album first thing by her I’ve really enjoyed. Good stuff
