Phoebe Green – Golden Girl
Since her 2016 debut album 02:00 AM, Mancunian indie-pop singer-songwriter Phoebe Green released a live EP and four singles. Golden Girl is the fourth in this series. It precedes her new EP I Can’t Cry For You, which will be out in December.
Golden Girl is a deeply honest outing. It reflects on themes of self-growth, awareness and acceptance within the context of relationships. Green states: “Golden Girl is about realising that being alone can be absolutely crucial when it comes to self growth. It’s about accepting the fact that total perfection is completely unattainable. So desperately trying to meet that standard in every aspect of my life – especially my relationships – will never not leave me feeling like I’ve failed.”
It’s a stylish song that combines mournful harmonies with driving beats and a grungy bass. Classic indie-pop!

Lauran Hibberd, whenyoung and Phoebe Green have all featured in these columns before. That same scene now produces Abbie Ozard, whom I praised before as well.
Following 2019’s Growing Pains EP, she just released her second EP, Let’s Play Pretend. It collects the Manchester-based artist’s latest three indie hits, and comes with her new single Breakdowns. Another obvious indie-pop hit, it features some heavy synth bass. The track was co-written and produced by Easy Life collaborator Ben Matarvers.
Breakdowns is an observational track, as explained by Abbie: “I wrote this tune after a massive conversation about Generation Z. I’m intensely guilty of the accusations we make in this song – how life is online, and how we deal with our problems through social media. (…) I’m sure I’m not the only person who’s found the word breakdown relatable recently…”
