On Girlhood, Australian band The Preatures reimagine '80s New Wave from the perspective of a 21st-century woman. Vocalist/keyboardist Isabella Manfredi seizes the role with rock-star charisma, slipping between the effortless cool of Chrissie Hynde on jangle-pop gems "Girlhood" and "Lip Balm" and the slicked-up sass of Pat Benatar on slippery synth ballads like "Magick." Elsewhere, the band kick into Fleetwood Mac-like grooves ("Yanada"), funky bass breakdowns ("Mess It Up"), and sumptuous, romantic dream pop fit for a John Hughes remake ("Cherry Ripe").
