Squeeze Me by Sophia Kennedy is a strange, emotional, and creative album that mixes pop with experimental sounds. It dives into feelings of closeness, confusion, and not always knowing where you stand in a relationship.
Released in May, this is Kennedy’s third studio album. She’s known for doing things differently, and this album proves it again. The music feels more stripped down than her earlier work, with simple piano loops, soft beats, and weird but cool vocal effects that make each song feel unique.
One of the best songs is “Rodeo,” which repeats a soft piano line while her voice floats in and out. It’s catchy in a quiet kind of haunting way.
Another standout is “Imaginary Friend.” This song sounds like a storybook set to music. It has a sad and dreamy vibe.
“Drive The Lorry” is one of the weaker songs on the album. It is very repetitive and has a minimal beat and a looped melody that doesn’t build much as it goes on.
Overall, Squeeze Me is an emotional, artsy album that’s more about how things feel than how they sound on the surface. It’s not a typical fun summer record. Instead, it’s better for quiet moments, or when fans want to listen to something different.
