Description
Anne-Marie’s second album, Therapy, lands like a clear-eyed check-in from a friend who has done the work and still wants to dance. Released on 23 July 2021, it arrived three years after Speak Your Mind and tightened her focus on self-talk, boundaries, and joy, all wrapped in radio-ready pop. It also did the business on the charts, debuting at number 2 in the UK Albums Chart in the week Dave took the top spot with We’re All Alone in This Together. That clash felt fitting. Therapy is pop with purpose, built for big hooks and honest lines.
The rollout stacked up some serious singles. Don’t Play with KSI and Digital Farm Animals was an early 2021 juggernaut, a UK garage-leaning workout with Anne-Marie’s soft-then-firm vocal and a chorus that sticks. She sounds in control, even while narrating the wobble of a messy text thread, and the production knocks without crowding her. Our Song, the duet with Niall Horan, swings the other way. It is breezy and acoustic, the kind of tune that lives on car radios and late-night karaoke queues, a breakup memory turned into shared nostalgia. Way Too Long with Nathan Dawe and MoStack is there for the club lift. Then Kiss My (Uh-Oh) recruits Little Mix and flips Lumidee’s 2003 earworm Never Leave You into a “know your worth” rallying cry. It is cheeky and cathartic, and it still works in any bar when the chorus hits.
Deeper in, the record fills out its title. Who I Am reads like a morning mirror pep talk, direct without feeling canned. Better Not Together shakes off old habits with a smile and a shrug. Tell Your Girlfriend is classic Anne-Marie mischief, just tart enough to sting. The closer, Therapy, spells out the thesis with a gentle build and a chorus that feels like exhale. It is not self-serious. It is just clear.
Rudimental turn up for Unlovable, bringing a lift that fans will recognize, and it suits her. The sequencing helps, because the album moves between featherlight and forceful in a way that mirrors the subject. One minute she’s pulling you onto the floor, the next she’s writing a note to herself. That push and pull gives Therapy replay value beyond the hits. It is also where Anne-Marie’s voice shines most. She never oversings. She lands conversation into melody, then steps back. It is a skill some pop albums forget to use.
In interviews around the release, she talked about real counseling and the album framing that process. You can hear it in the language. She avoids jargon and sticks to simple phrases that feel lived-in. The melodies carry the weight so the words can stay plain. That balance is why the album plays well in full. Even the biggest singles sit neatly in the flow rather than towering over it.
If you’re a wax person, Therapy vinyl is worth the space. The low end on Don’t Play and Kiss My (Uh-Oh) warms up nicely, and those quieter cuts open out in a way streaming earbuds flatten. Anne-Marie vinyl tends to be cut clean, and this one follows suit. If you have been hunting for Anne-Marie albums on vinyl, this is the one that turns casual fans into people who start flipping through bins for earlier singles, then remember to buy Anne-Marie records online when the local shop sells out. I have seen more than a few copies move that way. And yes, if you’re in a Melbourne record store or checking vinyl records Australia sites, it is a crowd-pleaser on listening stations.
Critics caught the point. The album didn’t chase reinvention for its own sake. It refined what worked, added collaborators who make sense, and put the personal lens in sharper focus. Pop history is full of second albums that wobble. Therapy stays upright by sounding like the life she was actually living in 2020 and 2021, with all the second-guessing, big nights, and quieter mornings that came with that stretch.
No grand manifesto, then. Just a bright, well-made pop record that treats self-reflection like a habit rather than a headline. Spin it for the hits, stay for the little truths tucked between them, and if you can, grab the Therapy vinyl so those truths breathe a bit more.
