Holly Miranda - Holly Miranda (2015)

''Thoroughly irresistible…an utterly undeniable statement of romantic intent. The song may be uncompromising in its insistence, but it's also winning enough in its classic pop structuring, sweet acoustic strumming and matter-of-fact lyrics that Miranda shouldn't reasonably expect much pushback anyway.'' --Spin 3/2/15

''Usher in the era of women who aren t afraid to ask to be f****. ''We could f*** in the sun and dance till dawn,'' Holly Miranda sings in a matter-of-fact, filtered vocal on ''All I Want Is To Be Your Girl,'' stripped of all the qualms and metaphors that usually render most pop song propositions toothless. Given that kind of kick off, the song hums with fierce self-knowledge, the kind that empowers you to love someone without any reservations.'' --Stereogum 3/2/15

''She's a bona-fide singer-songwriter who can and will simply sell a song around just her voice and the sound of an acoustic guitar'' --Pitchfork
