On her sophomore full-length, god forbid a girl spits out her feelings!, LØLØ doubles down on everything that made her debut falling for robots and wishing i was one (2024), such a sharp, self-aware entry into modern pop-punk—then cranks the emotional honesty to an almost confrontational degree. Released via Fearless Records and Coalition Music, this record feels less like a collection of songs and more like a messy, unfiltered diary you weren’t meant to read—but can’t put down once you start.
From the jump, the title track “god forbid a girl spits out her feelings!” sets the tone with biting sarcasm and explosive energy. It’s punchy, theatrical, and dripping with irony, calling out the exhausting double standards placed on women expressing emotion. That balance of humour and frustration becomes the album’s backbone.
Tracks like “the dumbest girl in the world” and “delusional darling” lean into self-deprecation, but never in a way that feels weak. Instead, LØLØ weaponizes insecurity, turning it into something loud, catchy, and oddly empowering. There’s a knowing wink behind the chaos—she’s in on the joke, even when it hurts.
Musically, the album thrives in that polished pop-punk/alt-pop hybrid space: crunchy guitars, glossy hooks, and just enough edge to keep things from feeling too clean. “the devil wears converse” is a standout in this regard, pairing tongue-in-cheek lyricism with a driving, early-2000s-inspired backbone that feels tailor-made for sweaty club shows. Meanwhile, “007” adds a slick, almost cinematic flair, proving LØLØ isn’t afraid to stretch her sonic palette.
But it’s the quieter—or at least more emotionally direct—moments that hit hardest. “boy who doesn’t want to” and “hung up on u” strip things back lyrically, exploring rejection and emotional limbo with a kind of brutal specificity that feels uncomfortably real. Then there’s “whiskey & coke,” which captures that blurry line between coping and self-destruction, wrapped in a deceptively breezy melody.
The album’s back half leans darker. “american zombie” and “lobotomy & u” dig into numbness, burnout, and the emotional toll of modern relationships, closing the record on a note that feels less resolved and more… honest. There’s no neat bow here—just lingering thoughts and open wounds.
If there’s any critique, it’s that the album occasionally leans so hard into its aesthetic—chaotic titles, tongue-in-cheek phrasing—that some tracks blur together conceptually. But even then, the conviction in LØLØ’s delivery keeps things completely engaging across its thirteen tracks. She sells every line like it’s the most important thing she’s ever said.
Ultimately, god forbid a girl spits out her feelings! is exactly what its title promises: loud, messy, unapologetic emotional release. LØLØ isn’t trying to be likable here—she’s trying to be real. And in doing so, she’s carved out a space that feels both deeply personal and widely relatable, especially for anyone who’s ever been told they feel “too much.”
