Thoughts:  From the name and the flavor of the first song, I thought this was a Brit for sure.  Nope.  Minnesotan!  Just like no one thought!  Funny that I just talked about Gwen Stefani in the last post, and now "Hug My Throat" has a bratty sound like Stefani talking about Harajuku Girls.

No Wikipedia, and honestly not many good articles that really dig into her background, so I will just give you this slightly unhinged comment she made when she was asked about how she came up with a song called "My Baby Loves Me."

I love dissecting this world. I really have for a long time built a world, and I kind of want to take you through the journey of it real quick. It's pretty fun to talk about, but it kind of helps with all the projects I've put and where it's going. And I'll probably say this a few times, because I think it helps anybody at any time, get on the bandwagon, but understand me a little bit more. I'm a very visual thinker, and so I think of like, okay, boom — Alice in Wonderland. I'm in a field, it's beautiful, there's flowers everywhere. And then I'm reading my book, my cat is probably doing his thing, climbing up the tree. I'm like, "Get out of the tree!" I'm very in my element. And that is Free Form, my first mixtape. That is just me, free flowing, free forming, just kind of being who I am, what I am, in this space. And then it starts to get a little cold, and I'm like, "Oh, I should probably bundle up, figure out my next move. I can't lay here forever." And so on that journey of just being like, "Alright, my consciousness is starting to need a plan. Something is happening." That's my next mixtape, NO GMO. So I'm kind of going, I see this river. I like to say chocolate, because I like to add a little pizzazz. And so I'm like, "Let me get on this river." I get on a boat that's going down the river, and there's a map in it. And I'm like, "Oh! Okay." I hold the map up, that's my EP Antenna. So now I'm like, "Okay, I have directions, an antenna. I have something calling to me to do what I'm supposed to do. I felt it earlier from NO GMO, and I was building from Free Form." So I'm like, moving the map around, upside down, looking at it. I'm like, okay, North West, South —  okay, period. I'm like, "I should probably get off the river, because the map is telling me that." I get off the river, I continue to follow the map. And then the map takes me to this door, and I look down, and the place mat in front of the door says, "Are We There Yet?" And that's my last EP. Because now it's kind of at a point where like, "Okay, well, this is the map takes me, takes me right here, like, are we there yet? I think we might be!" So I look inside the keyhole. Hence, "My Baby Loves Me" at the beginning, when I started doing content, you saw a keyhole, then it zoomed in, and I look in, I'm like, "Okay! I see some in there." I open up the door, and that is going to be my next project. So that's gonna be my debut album.

Wow.  Yeah, sure, now it all makes complete sense. 

As you may have surmised from that diatribe, she has yet to release a real album.  2018 mixtape called Free Form Mixtape, the 2019 NO GMO Mixtape, the 2021 Antenna EP, the 2024 EP called Are We There Yet, and then some more singles that will maybe be about her keyhole and what you can see inside when you drop acid and read her interviews.

Top track is a single that then made it onto the Antenna EP.  "Body Move" with 6.3 million streams.

Speaking of taking acid - do not walk toward the talking tree with the big mouth, girl. I am guessing this was a minor TikTok hit to get it those streams, because I don't hear anything great to keep around.  She was apparently classically trained in opera and jazz, which is kind of wild as I listen to her rap about boning in a backseat.  She caught the eye of Lizzo and got to open some shows for her on tour a few years ago.

Second-biggest streamer is from the debut mixtape, "Baby Pillz" has 4.5 million streams and a deeper electronica sound.

She's got a good voice and a pretty face, but I just don't care for the actual songs themselves.  By the way, she claims her fanbase are called Dizzerts.  Which made me grin.  Not my jam, but I can definitely see how the combination of oddball stuff and her great voice could appeal to others.
