Setting the Scene

While people are used to me talking about death and heavy metal music, this album comes on the opposite side of the spectrum of music I enjoy. Stepping firmly into the pop rock arena, Toronto artist LØLØ presents her second studio album, god forbid a girl spits out her feelings!, arriving two years after her debut release.

First Impression

god forbid a girl spits out her feelings! is an album a teenager or tweenager girl can easily relate to. It serves as a blunt, unfiltered rant that perfectly captures the messy reality of navigating toxic cycles and emotional extremes. The satisfying motion between high-energy pop rock and those quiet acoustic drops is sharp and engaging.

Visual Vibes

The cover perfectly matches the album’s unfiltered pop-rock energy. It features a twisted Y2K Princess and the Pea aesthetic, complete with towering mattresses, massive platform boots, and a leopard print diary ready for all the drama. It is the exact visual definition of overthinking everything in your room at 2 AM.

Track on Repeat

“the dumbest girl in the world”

The third track on the album, “the dumbest girl in the world,” is a painfully self-aware callout that wraps the messy reality of toxic situationships inside a ridiculously catchy pop-rock anthem.

In-depth Notes

Musical Shape 🎸

The sound acts like one massive mood swing. It snaps violently from loud, explosive guitars straight into fragile, bare-bones acoustic moments. The music itself feels like a spiraling breakdown, making the chaotic lyrics hit exactly where they should.

Vocal Performance 🎤

LØLØ’s vocals nail the sweet spot between a sarcastic eyeroll and a complete breakdown. She pushes her voice to the edge on the loud anthems and strips it right back to a raw whisper for the quiet parts. It feels exactly like she is reading her most chaotic diary entries straight into your ear.

Production Quality 🎧

The production frames the chaos perfectly. It makes the loud anthems feel massive while keeping the soft moments uncomfortably intimate, gluing the whole messy vibe together without polishing away natural emotion.

Themes and Concepts 💭

The core concept is basically a locked diary you were never supposed to read. It tackles the exhausting loop of toxic situationships, the delusion of the “I can fix him” phase, and the brutal self-awareness of knowing you’re making terrible choices but diving in anyway.

Final Verdict

★★★★★★★☆☆☆

LØLØ’s god forbid a girl spits out her feelings! is a brutally self-aware, violently catchy pop-rock mood swing that perfectly captures the messy reality of 2 AM overthinking and toxic situationships.

Orlanda, Florida-based artist, F3arkultur3 just released their latest album "The Misery Files".

From the new album, we are taking a listen to "Outta Esuna". The track starts abruptly with an isolated scream before jumping into action with crushingly heavy guitar chugging, subtle ringing dissonance, and impactful drum grooves. The song quickly captures a sound that reminds me of a mix of hardcore and metalcore. At just under 3 minutes, the track is filled with suffocatingly heavy vocals that deliver percussive, slightly raspy screams that accent the brutality of the instrumentals excellently.

Despite only using screaming vocals, F3arkultur3 still adds melodic elements with a chorus that reminded me of a heavier version of Bring Me The Horizon, as screaming hits melodic notes while guitar and synth hooks add to the background of the chorus. F3arkultur3 does an incredible job of taking hardcore metal and keeping the visceral sound of the genre while still managing to add melodic elements without disrupting the intensity of the song at all. From start to finish, "Outta Esuna" is ferocious and filled with energy, keeping its runtime interesting.

You can stream F3arkultur3's new album "The Misery Files" available on all streaming platforms now!
