Welcome to our review episode of The Life of a Showgirl!!
Is this perhaps the most divisive album of the last few years? Rolling Stone gave it a perfect 5/5, The Guardian a measly 2/5. Oh – and a viral tweet with tens of thousands of likes declared “The Life of a Showgirl is as if Dubai, matcha, pistachio chocolate, Colleen Hoover books, and labubus all had a baby with Al”.
So! What the hell did we make of it? Let’s find out!!!

In fact, that wealth and influence might’ve just been the thing that pushed the publishing deal over the line. Now, after everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Gwyneth Paltrow to Reese Witherspoon has endorsed Amy’s book, the New York Times has raised some pretty serious questions about the story within...
