Blondshell [Partisan, 2023]
NYC born-and-raised Sabrina Mae Teitelbaum is a queer-identified singer-songwriter disinclined to get too binary about it. As of this album she lives with a boyfriend in East L.A. and specializes in plain love songs chocked with unusual interpersonal details. In "Salad" she ponders poisoning an abuser. "The sex is almost always bad" in one called "Sepsis" but she can't help loving him anyway. In "Sober Together" she hangs in there for a partner who's falling off the wagon. In "Kiss City" her "kink is when you tell me you think I'm pretty." Gets around, does Sabrina Mae. And thinks about it too. A−
