Pouty – “Salty”

Rachel Gagliardi has been making snotty pop-punk gems for over a decade now, first as one-half of the duo Slutever and later as a member of Upset. She’s also intermittently kept up her own project called Pouty, and she’s finally ready to release her debut full-length album under that name. Forgot About Me will arrive early next year, and its title feels like a nod toward how undersung and underappreciated it feels like Gagliardi’s music is. But she’s so good at this, as last month’s “Virgos Need More Love” and new single “Salty” clearly demonstrate. “Salty” is the album’s roaring opening track, blasting off into a shoutalong hook.
