“Sunkist-haired, Manchester-based artist Phoebe Green, who turned 23 in November, self-released her first album, 02:00 AM in 2016. She’s been steadily accruing fans and buzz since, for her darkly witty and very danceable indie rock tunes about the cringe-worthy and often cold behavior at play in contemporary relationships.
On Dec. 3, Green’s label, Chess Club Records, released I Can’t Cry For You, an EP of four new songs. The record opens with “Reinvent,” one of the sleeper gems of late summer and fall. The song’s strobe-like beat and the slide-guitar lick that introduces each chorus are pretty impossible to resist, and the knowing lyrics, about the tug-of-war between being one’s self or playing a role to win friends and lovers are just as compelling.” Billboard (2020)
“Oozing style, personality, and talent by the bucketload, Phoebe Green is poised to become Manchester’s next big thing. ‘I Can’t Cry For You’ finds the 23 year old forging an identity for herself by tying lush indie-pop melodies to an uncompromising lyrical voice. ‘I Can’t Cry For You’ is a promising introduction to a potential future superstar.” DIY (2020)
