REVIEW: LØLØ - god forbid a girl spits out her feelings!

There’s a line somewhere between oversharing and honesty, and GOD FORBIDS A GIRL SPITS OUT HER FEELINGS! LØLØ doesn’t just cross it—she basically lives there. And that’s exactly why this album works. From the jump, it feels like you’re being let into thoughts that probably should’ve stayed in the notes app. Not in a messy-for-the-sake-of-it way, but in that painfully self-aware, “I know this is a bad idea but I’m doing it anyway” kind of way. It’s chaotic, a little dramatic, sometimes self-deprecating to a fault, but it’s real.

Sonically, it sits in that sweet spot between pop-rock and early 2000s alt influence, with flashes of that ‘90s guitar driven sound she’s clearly obsessed with. You can hear those inspirations, but it never feels like cosplay. It’s more like she’s taken that sound and filtered it through a very online, very emotionally self-aware Gen-Z lens.

Tracks like The dumbest girl in the world hit especially hard, mostly because of how blunt they are. There’s no metaphor to hide behind, just the uncomfortable truth of going back to someone you already know is going to hurt you. It’s the kind of song that feels a bit too specific until you realise… yeah, everyone’s been there at some point. That same energy carries into me with no shirt on which somehow manages to feel both vulnerable and awkward in a way that’s weirdly endearing. LØLØ has a knack for writing lines that feel like intrusive thoughts you didn’t mean to say out loud, and that track leans all the way into it.

Then there’s the punisher, which feels like a turning point in the record. It starts stripped back, almost hesitant, before building into something more intense. Lyrically, it taps into that spiral of checking up on someone you shouldn’t. knowing it’s going to ruin your mood but doing it anyway. It’s not a glamorous kind of heartbreak, and that’s what makes it land. On the other side of things, 007 brings in a bit of attitude. It’s sharper, more controlled, and plays with the idea of knowing someone’s bad news but choosing to engage anyway, just on your own terms this time. There’s a confidence to it that cuts through some of the album’s more self-critical moments, even if it still carries that underlying cynicism.

What keeps the album from getting too heavy is how self-aware it is. Songs like the devil wears converse and american zombie inject just enough energy and bite to balance things out. There’s still emotion there, but it’s delivered with a bit more punch, a bit more edge. Closing track lobotomy & u is where everything kind of settles. It’s quieter, more reflective, and probably the most uncomfortable listen on the album—not because it’s bad, but because of how honest it is about wanting to go back to something you know wasn’t good for you. That idea of wishing you could just forget the damage and start again hits harder than any big dramatic breakup anthem.

What really stands out across the whole record is how specific everything feels. LØLØ isn’t trying to write vague, universally relatable lyrics. She's writing her exact experiences, in detail. The irony is that it makes the songs more relatable, not less. Whether it’s stalking an ex, overthinking a conversation, or convincing yourself someone might change, it all feels very lived-in. Vocally, she keeps things pretty grounded. There’s no over-the-top theatrics, just enough grit and softness to match whatever the song needs. It fits the tone of the album perfectly. Nothing feels overproduced or overly polished in a way that strips the emotion out.

If her debut introduced her as someone to keep an eye on, this feels like her properly settling into who she is as an artist. She’s not trying to be mysterious or detached—if anything, she’s doing the opposite. Every thought, every bad decision, every slightly embarrassing feeling is right there in the open. And honestly, that’s what makes GOD FORBIDS A GIRL SPITS OUT HER FEELINGS! stick. It doesn’t try to make heartbreak look pretty or profound. It just shows it as it is: repetitive, confusing, sometimes a bit pathetic, but still very human. It’s not about having it all figured out. It’s about admitting you don’t. And in this case, that’s more than enough.

Score: 10/10
