After a rocket-like ascent into worldwide pop stardom fueled by her breakout hit “Rivers,” Bishop Briggs’ debut album, 2018’s Church of Scars, soon climbed into Billboard’s Top 10 Album Chart. Now, she has returned with a new album called Champion, a collection of anthemic, pumping songs that will certainly continue to cement her status as a headlining act worldwide.
One of the first things you’ll notice isn’t even the music itself, but the choice to capitalize every letter of every song title, a move that creates a bold, in-your-face tone visually and which happens to set the mood of the album itself, which is full of mostly bold, in-your-face songs about relationships gone bad and the struggle to move on when they end. Many of the songs here thump around that theme, and the opening track “I Still Love You” is a hooky prologue to the rest of the album in which something of a narrative unfolds, each song seeming to explore the various emotional states that come with life after a break-up.
