Review
"Who Really Cares" by TV Girl dropped into the indie pop scene in 2016 like a well-timed loot drop in a high-stakes gaming session, stirring the pot with its lo-fi vibes and hauntingly poetic lyrics. The album serves as TV Girl's sophomore release, delving deep into the maze-like complexities of sexual relationships and emotional entanglements. The tracks paint a vivid picture of love, lust, and everything in-between, with titles like "Taking What's Not Yours" and "Cigarettes out the Window" hinting at the transient and sometimes illicit nature of modern romances.
The cover art is an interesting piece of the puzzle, featuring a photograph by George M. Hester that captures a woman and a man in an intimate, yet somewhat detached embrace. This image, much like the album’s narrative, probes into themes of possessiveness and objectification, sparking discussions among fans and critics alike. The mix of indie pop with a splash of atmospheric sounds sets the stage for tracks that are both introspective and relatable, appealing to anyone who’s navigated the tricky waters of relationships. Critics and fans have tipped their hats to the album’s ability to weave stories that both resonate and provoke thought, making "Who Really Cares" a playlist staple for those late-night sessions of pondering life’s relational raid levels.
In summary, "Who Really Cares" explores the often murky dynamics of intimacy and detachment in modern relationships through catchy melodies and sharp lyrics. It’s a heartfelt exploration that resonates with anyone who’s faced relationship boss battles on their own. - Blake
