New Album Reflects a Shift in Perspective

According to a press release, Ives says the new album represents a shift from “escaping to exploring.” She realized, with newfound personal freedom, “I’m allowed to take up space—to be social, to talk about how I feel, to attempt new things.” Girlfriend, she explains, is about allowing herself “room to fail, to experiment, and to become more honest in the music.”

The album’s first single, “Stupid Bitches,” is now available. A comprehensive tour schedule accompanies the album release, beginning April 17 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and extending internationally to London, England on June 16.

Expert Insight: Ives’ stated intention to embrace vulnerability and experimentation suggests a potential evolution in her artistic approach. Allowing space for failure and honesty often leads to more resonant and impactful work, and could signal a deepening connection with her audience.
