Review

Let's dive into FLETCHER's debut studio album, "Girl Of My Dreams," which dropped on September 16, 2022. It's a noticeable journey of emotions, taking us through heartache, triumph, and a deep dive into self-discovery vibes. Released under Capitol Records, this album is proof of how much FLETCHER has grown as a singer-songwriter, flexing some serious versatility by mixing up pop and guitar sounds. You feel the shift from her earlier stuff with tracks like "Guess We Lied" mingling seamless pop with striking guitar nuances.

The collection's setup brings an ebb and flow that’s undeniable. The first half leans introspective, really placing the spotlight on FLETCHER's softer side. Then, as you get to the latter part, the tempo lights up with lively and ear-catching bangers like "Conversations" and "Serial Heartbreaker" that emphasize her knack for crafting tunes that stick. Songs like "Girl Of My Dreams" and "Sting" strike a particular chord, connecting with listeners and our emotional nerve.

Now, let’s touch on its reception—a solid Metacritic score of 73/100 backs what most critics have noticed. It's generally well-received for its raw honesty and engaging musicality. "Becky's So Hot," "Her Body Is Bible," "Better Version," and the stirring singles regularly earn nods of approval from platforms like Clash and Gigwise, though the folks at Pitchfork seemed a tad split. When all’s said and done, "Girl Of My Dreams" signposts a bold leap for FLETCHER, manifesting both personal storytelling and emotional connection in a big way. - Preston
