Girl, Who Asked?

Ritt Momney - BASE Tracks  12 Runtime  30mins Favorite Tracks  I'DDO, DOG, CAT, IF, LOVE AROUND YOU   A good bedroom pop record needs a certain tenderness. To make a good bedroom pop record you don’t sing or speak or play the music, you exhale. And Ritt Momney’s first full length album in 5 years is a very good bedroom pop record.  The solo project of Salt Lake City based singer-songwriter Jack William Rutter, BASE is whispered breathlessly on your shoulder, soaking through the skin of your neck. It lies on the bed next to you as the winter gasps its last breaths in snow and wind and rain just outside the window.  The production is deceptively thin at first. The vocals are airy with tight resonance, the drums are snappy, lofi, almost small sounding. But it hums to its own tune. Sometimes in balmy basslines, sometimes in the rumble of downtuned acoustic guitar strings, and sometimes even in the hiss that hangs in the background, the not quite silence of a no...

Feels Like Heaven - Within Dreams Tracks  10 Runtime  24mins Favorite Tracks  Volvo (On The Road), Sandra Bullock, Snow Dunes, Take The Rain If someone had put a gun to my head and told me to guess where this album is from in three tries, ten tries, hell even fifty tries, I would be a very dead woman. Sounding like all the best parts of Bad Religion, Rise Against, Kvelertak, and Mötorhead, Feels Like Heaven hails from Stockholm, Sweden. Which is insane because the blend of Emocore, melodic hardcore, and skate punk on this album combines into a genre I could only describe as “HELL YEAH”. This album sounds like this image:   Everything about this album just goes fuckin crazy. The distorted guitar tones are endless endorphin factories, the riffs are fast paced and catchy, and the vocals are screamable, singable, and everything in between. Every hook on this album is so addicting. If you check out one song from this album please make it Sandra Bullock. It features one of...

It’s that time of the year again!!! It has been another full year of hunting down as many new albums as possible, and what a successful hunt it was. Overall I listened to 336 albums from a massive range of genres, so I hope there will be a little something for everyone. So without further ado, welcome to the 2025 Girl, Who Asked Awards Show! Allow me to introduce this year’s categories. Uncut Gems for Uncut Princesses Dog Penis Undoers Party Favors Fear Fuel for Hoes who Love Being Scared  For Girls who are Cowboys Album of the Year   Uncut Gems for Uncut Princesses This is an "honorable mentions" section of sorts. I evaluate albums as one full cohesive piece of music. I love seeing how artists construct a full experience, the way that a well assembled tracklist with well placed interludes can become so much more than the sum of its parts. But sometimes looking at the forest causes you to miss some really beautiful trees. This category is for those messy forests with be...

  FKA Twigs - EUSEXUA Afterglow Tracks  11 Runtime  40mins Favorite Tracks  Love Crimes, Wild And Alone, HARD, Predictable Girl, Sushi   I have mixed opinions about Charli XCX’s critically acclaimed 2024 album BRAT, but I cannot deny the cultural sensation it sparked. It was, for many people, their first interaction with this club style electronic dance music, and its fusion with Charli’s addicting pop songwriting had people instantly hooked. They wanted more. And it was at this point, at exactly the right time, that FKA Twigs announced EUSEXUA, coming early 2025. And the hype was instantaneous. Twigs is known for her attention to detail, her artistry, her ability to craft vibes and sounds you don’t really experience anywhere else. She’s a powerhouse in the Art Pop world, and no stranger to club music, often using deconstructed club beats and stylings to build masterpieces like her 2019 album MAGDALENE. EUSEXUA sadly, was none of these things. The production was...
