Album Review: G Flip - About Us

With all respect due to paintings, sculpture and whatever else, pop music is the best art-form for capturing the delicious pain of romantic longing. It’s a lesson that G Flip brilliantly reminds us of with About Us.

Case in point is opener Lover. Drink Too Much balances the confessional and the performative. Killing My Time has more swagger. 

Thanks to her drumming background, rhythm comes naturally to G Flip. That insight is too reductive though. G Flip’s real triumph is neither a command of rhythm, nor of melody, but her command of character – as an artist, she is compelling. As much as About Us might sound like it’s about someone else, it’s really about our G Flip and the authentic approach she takes to the world around her, and to her music.
