Welcome to the show, Babe
Girlhood return with This Will Make Sense In The End, their fourth album and the first since their debut to be written together in a room. Built around the voice and writing of singer-songwriter Natalie Holmes, the record marks a major shift for the project: after years of remote collaborations and guest vocalists, Girlhood once again began to feel like a band.
Written during a period when Natalie was rethinking dating, appetite and self-understanding in her thirties, the album turns one relationship into a vivid world of food, memory, conflict and clarity. Her complicated relationship with food runs through the record’s language: picnics, lemonade, breakfast, fruit, dessert, dilution and hunger all become metaphors for desire, control and self-preservation.
Musically, This Will Make Sense In The End began as an experiment in manipulating old soul vinyl cuts until they became something new: warped rhythms, strange textures and sample-led pop songs that gradually give way to more intimate, exposed moments. Rooted in the small dramas and everyday scenery of Stroud, the album is British in the most lived-in sense - shopfronts, weather, cafés, takeaways and familiar streets turned quietly cinematic.
