Model/Actriz's second album "Pirouette" is a striking follow-up that delves into complex themes of identity and self-perception. Frontman Cole Haden reflects on the divide between how he sees himself and how others perceive him, echoing E.M. Forster's "Maurice" in its exploration of hidden selves. The albumâs sound has shifted from raw energy to a cleaner, more polished aesthetic, while its lyrics confront deep-seated feelings of queerness and the fear of being seen. Overall, it represents an honest exploration of desire and personal truth.
Hadenâs lyrics root into early memories of self-censure, realizing as a child that his queerness was too dangerous to be celebrated or shared.
On "Baton," Haden realizes there are multiple versions of himself as perceived by others, a profound reflection on identity and self-awareness.
