Worst Person in the World

the take

I'm convinced Carol Ades new album was made just for me. Holy shit is she in my head or are we all living the same 20 something familiar hell?? I ’m The Worst Person In The World masterfully tells a story of escaping the pressure to be exceptional that we so often feel in our 20s. Carol navigates love, her career, and family expectations only to figure out that, maybe she just wants what everyone else does. to be loved. Throughout this album, you can hear the influence of early 2000s piano pop à la Lily Allen, Regina Spektor, and Fiona Apple. She creates a universe where she is, quite literally, a student of the world. Dressed in a catholic school uniform, subsequently teaching us the nuggets of wisdom she’s collected along her way. While most of this project’s story feels melodramatic and theatrical, Normal Feelings feels like the most authentic version of Carol, behind the schoolgirl character.
