Album Review: Molly Burch Plants Self-Love As The First Flower

When I first heard Molly Burch’s Please Be Mine, it was lovelorn, romantic, and innocent like, the final dance at prom. Her music burst with the naive transition we all make into wisdom when we decide to say “I love you” to our first boyfriend and girlfriend. Yet, First Flower is what happens when you say “I love you” to yourself. 

It is a beautiful image; the idea that the first time you choose to love yourself is like the first flower life gives you amongst its bouquet, and every time you you choose to stand for your wants and needs, it offers you another rose. Do not get me wrong, Molly Burch can still write a love song of longing, “Without You” and “Nothing To Say.” Yet, now she is willing to stand by herself, and see what she has added to her own life through her love choices. 

Whether she has the guy, “Next To Me,” or is analyzing why she is/was even with him, “Dangerous Place,” Molly Burch’s sounds more affirmed. Please Be Mine’s melodies felt sullenly starry and filled with songs of lovers’ goodbye.Yet, First Flower is Burch’s lyrical/ spiritual settlement that it is okay to be alone: even if it sucks. This is an important message, especially for people whom are addicted to relationships. If you always feel having only yourself as support is unbearable or impossible, then it is time you aim for your First Flower moment. For this, Molly’s melodies and voice sound like a smoky cross being carried by angel in a white mustang: as she drives she sees creations in the sky. 

While Molly keeps her dreaminess, from “Good Behavior” to “Candy” or “Wild,” she is unafraid to dream for herself. It is a sign of brilliance, maturity, and the subtle development of fearlessness. After all, we miss others, the most, when we think cannot stand on our own. Yet, every flower is an individual even if in a garden.
