Manders’ lyricism is chameleonic, yet honest – across a breadth of themes including sexual assault, financial struggles and being someone’s rebound, her writing is always to-the-point. ‘Threadbare’ and ‘Fun Sponge’ are vulnerable yet witty, with the singer-songwriter lamenting the exhaustion of pushing through difficult times and how she is perceived as an outspoken woman. Her frankness carries across to the more directly political tracks. She calls out the public for silent complicity in genocides in Chad, Ethiopia, and more in ‘Can I Get Off?’, while on ‘Me Too’, she criticises victim blaming culture surrounding sexual assault: “the conversation’s still the same, you blame the girl for being weak”.
