In the years since rising to global stardom, Phoebe Bridgers has tended to guard her personal life with increasing privacy – but for a singer-songwriter, it’s never that simple.
A lot has happened in the six years since she last released a solo album, including the explosion in popularity of her supergroup Boygenius (comprising Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker), an engagement and breakup with Irish actor Paul Mescal, and a relationship with her current partner, comedian, musician and film director Bo Burnham. On her accomplished new album Lost Weekend, she finds herself ready to talk – or at least sing – things through.
