“A NOTE: LOUD AND QUIET IS IN DANGER OF CLOSING. PLEASE CONSIDER SUBSCRIBING TO OUR MAGAZINE OR MAKING A SMALL DONATION HERE. THANK YOU. how I’m feeling now is and forever will be known as Charli XCX’s “lockdown album”, a media-fed phenomenon that she seems to be the only real evidence of.

“every sound choice feels intentional, especially when you consider the context of its release. the album leans into aggression and emotion without softening the edges, fully embracing its experimental/hyperpop identity. over time it’s aged like fine wine, not just sonically but conceptually, remaining beautiful and relevant as a key moment in the development of pc music.”
“The second half isn’t as good. But overall very good record”
“Idk how it’s in everyone’s top 3 Charli xcx albums”
