Confessional and conversational, flowerovlove writes her songs like pages in her diary—the one space where she can be entirely honest. On her debut album, the British artist chronicles the transition from girlhood to womanhood and the first everythings that come with it, exuding the confidence and self-awareness of an older sister who fought the war and lived to tell the tale. Songs like the wistful “Debonair” and rom-com-coded “KISS KISS KISS” are pop lovergirl fantasies, while main-character anthem “I’m your first” relishes in being a guy’s first baddie. flowerovlove keeps that playfulness even in heartbreak—“In My Victoria’s Secret” bops along with punchy drums and shouting background vocals as she bemoans giving an unworthy suitor a chance: “I can’t believe I let him see me in a bra.” Quieter moments of vulnerability bleed through, too, like when she’s been blindsided by a breakup (“What happened”) or cycling between missing and hating an ex (“baby”). “girls will be girls,” featuring WILLOW, closes the album with a soft truth—that the most meaningful relationships girls can have in these formative years, and beyond, are with who they’re becoming and with each other.
