This is genuinely a decent track, fair play to her it takes guts to have been roundly shat on by the internet in your formative years only to come back and put out something serious like this. I'll probably give the rest of the album a listen at some point.

The album is suprisingly varied

Sick To My Stomach has a sytnhwave base, Destroy Me is influenced by Industrial Metal, Performer is a semi-acoustic ballad in 6/8

Good for them! I wonder what their motivation is; I suppose it could be anything, but I hope this is an artist defining themselves.

Just to add to what bird said, she's basically spent the last decade developing her own voice as an artist, and Let her Burn shows it. Her older EPs also have some good stuff on it—"Girlfriend" gets stuck in my head regularly, for instance—and hopefully she's seen enough success from this album to keep going with it.

She is. She’s really grown into her own. In addition to her great album (I have it on vinyl) she’s done a lot of fun features with all kinds of different artists.

Anyone reading this, I recommend listening to ‘Crumbs’ from her new record.

Yeah, this track is a decent bop.

I remember when she released the remix to Friday and it was quite interesting. I'm surprised it took her this long to do something with her reach.

Doesn't hurt that the album sounds quite good (from the few songs I've heard)

[–] RandomVanGloboii@feddit.it 3 points 1 year ago

To be fair, she had already released to EPs in 2017 and 2021 before that. But I think that due to her sad history she wanted to be sure to have something really valuable before making her actual debut

This is awesome! Going to listen now!

Btw if you want a place for pop music specifically check out [popheads](https://poptalk scrubbles.tech/c/popheads)

Don't let decade-old memes define you! Seriously, Rebecca's basically spent the last decade figuring herself out as an artist and pretty much everything she's done in the last, like, five years is solid. Still definitely in the pop family, so if that's not your bag I get it, but at least consider giving her a shot.

After all, would you want to be defined by the things you did when you were 13? :P
