With pop-punk making its return to the indie music world, Sophia Bel’s Anxious Avoidant is the perfect re-introduction to this iconic genre for young music fans.
But this album is so much more than an attempt at pop punk revival. Filled with empowering ballads and catchy anthems, Bel has created a masterpiece that is a unique mixture reminiscent of Avril Lavigne and early P!nk. The vulnerability in her lyrics immerses listeners in her story, taking you through a journey of heartbreak, love, and insecurity, which instantly becomes relatable for everyone from Gen A to Gen Z.
