May 2, 2025It’s a surefooted, brilliant second album of any era, by any reckoning.
-
May 2, 2025Rather than offering neat conclusions, it’s an album in search of answers—and Teitelbaum leaves space for listeners to find their own meanings, fostering a deeper, more enduring connection than any straightforward narrative ever could.
-
May 5, 2025Still as sharp and impactful [as 2023's self-titled debut] but focused more on the spaces in between her stories than the plots themselves.
-
May 6, 2025The songs may arise from turmoil, but the production is enveloping and inviting, suggesting there’s a path out of the darkness.
-
May 6, 2025While Teitelbaum's vocals occasionally teeter on nonchalance or disaffection, she knows how to balance these quieter moments with bursts of passion, making them strike even harder.
-
May 6, 2025There is a lot of depth to be found in If You Asked For A Picture, and at times it is hidden behind the fairly pedestrian “indie” approach. Yet given time, it’s an album that gradually unfurls and draws you in, even if a little extra punch and bite would not have gone amiss.

May 1, 2025As a throwback, Blondshell’s sophomore work has form and finesse, but it lacks the spark of ingenuity that was present throughout her eponymous debut. However, the conviction demonstrated on bangers “T&A” and “Model Rockets” is such that it is unlikely to bother the fanbase a great deal.
