Recording and release

After releasing a handful of self-made EPs, Cain began collaborating with Lil Aaron. In February 2021, Cain released her first single under the new publishing contract, titled "Michelle Pfeiffer" featuring Lil Aaron.[2] The song was premiered in Paper and featured on Billboard,[3] The Fader,[4] Nylon,[5] and Pitchfork.[6]

Reception

Arielle Gordon, writing for Pitchfork, gave this release a 7.6 out of 10, for adding "nuance and depth to both her sound and her character"; this album builds upon the mythology of the Ethel Cain pseudonym as well as adds new sounds to her musical repertorie.[7]
