There is a Phoebe-sized hole in the heart of the music industry. Luckily, it hasn't been fully silent on her end. In the past few years, she has been active with her band, boygenius, and busy producing music for other singers. Despite this, it has been four and a half years since her last solo album, Punisher, was released, and I yearn for a new solo album.

I think the reason that the lack of new music is bothering me is because there is not even any confirmation or buzz around her making a new album. It is all just merely speculation, which means who knows how long we are going to have to wait. The Record by boygenius was released in 2023 and gave me the Phoebe fix that I needed, but now that the tour is over and other members of the band like Lucy Dacus have announced their solo albums, I cannot help but hope that Phoebe is secretly planning on doing the same.
No matter when she comes back, I know that the album will be life-changing, so even if it takes years it will be okay. I will just continue to replay her existing discography over and over again until the time comes. In honor of her hiatus, here are my favorite songs on each of her solo albums.
