ABOUT THIS ARTIST

Phoebe Green styles herself on social media as the “Shirley Temple of the north [of England]”. But in case you missed the sarcasm, the Manchester-based singer-songwriter is no one’s little darling. “I don’t want to compromise myself for you,” she announces over shuffling drums on her debut single “Dreaming Of,” a synth-filled indie-pop song that grows ever more biting. On her self-released 2016 mixtape 02:00 AM, Green showed an uncanny ability to move between power-anthem choruses and moments of tenderness. “Dreaming Of” offers more of the same with a self-reflexive twist: Despite the song’s uplift, her lyrics reflect on how bittersweet it is to finally get what you want, only to discover that it’s not as perfect as you imagined it would be. For Green, though, this is empowering: As she sings the final chorus, the band swells to a new size and her radiant voice fills the enormous space around her. In a world that attempts to make young women feel small, Green finds the fuel to make herself sound huge.' Pitchfork, 2019
