Phoebe Green’s ‘Ask Me Now’ EP: Embracing Love, Growth, and Artistic Freedom

stayc main image

Manchester’s alt-pop sensation Phoebe Green is back with another exhilarating release, offering fans a tantalizing taste of her forthcoming EP ‘Ask Me Now’. Released on May 24th, the EP's latest single, ‘I Think That I’m Getting Boring’, is a vibrant homage to '80s pop and provides a refreshing perspective on the calm and contentment found in love.

Following her recent singles ‘I Could Love You’ and ‘Embarrass Me’, Phoebe dives deep into the tranquillity of letting go of the fear of being “boring”. In her own words, she describes the song as embodying “the calmness that comes with being in love and letting go of the fear of being ‘boring’.” She adds, “There is so much joy in consistency and contentment that seemed so daunting to me because I’d never let myself have it before. It feels like a very anthemic coming-of-age type of song which is funny considering I’m in my mid-twenties, but it’s reassuring that I’m still growing in so many ways.”

To celebrate the release of ‘Ask Me Now’—which follows her 2022 debut LP ‘Lucky Me’—Phoebe will perform a headline show in London at The Grace on June 6th. Tickets are available now, and fans can immerse themselves in the nostalgic vibes of ‘I Think That I’m Getting Boring’ below.

Phoebe’s new EP showcases her artistic evolution, embracing a range of musical styles while maintaining her distinctive lyrical openness. Working independently, she has crafted an eclectic mix of tracks that reflect her growth as an artist. From the moody tones of ‘Embarrass Me’ to the soulful melodies of ‘I Could Love You’, each song on the EP highlights her versatility and creative freedom.

A standout track, ‘Relevant’, offers a poignant critique of the music industry. Phoebe shares, “It is a sort of half amused, half frustrated commentary on the creative industry as a whole; I have reached a point mentally where I know myself and I accept myself (as best as I can) and I’m aware that I don’t necessarily fit a specific role that might be wanted or expected of me. I don’t want to fetishize myself for easy consumption, I don’t want to be anything I don’t feel that I am in order to be ‘relevant’. It’s so refreshing to finally prioritize my own sanity and sense of self over how I can make everybody love me.”

Emerging from the critical acclaim of her debut ‘Lucky Me’, Phoebe Green has become even more formidable in the alt-pop scene. With ‘Ask Me Now’, she embraces a new chapter marked by radical self-discovery, artistic authenticity, and the sheer euphoria of creative liberation.

Phoebe reflects on this transformative period: "I’m a hundred times happier and more myself than I have been in years, which is a huge relief. I’m releasing independently, which feels really freeing. I’ve always wanted to do as much as I can for myself, and I think I’m finally in a place to be able to.”

Phoebe Green’s story is one of empowerment, creativity, and unwavering self-belief. By following her example, up-and-coming artists can find inspiration to carve their own paths, stay true to their artistic vision, and enjoy the freedom and fulfillment that comes with genuine self-expression.
