Dove Cameron, “Girl Like Me” | Track Review 🎵

Ascending pop artist (and actress) Dove Cameron continues to impress on “A Girl Like Me,” the fourth single from her forthcoming, debut album.

“You’ve never met a girl like me before…” Okay, 🎙 Dove Cameron, if you say so! On her fourth single from her 2023, forthcoming debut album, Cameron samples 🎵 “A Girl Like You” by 🎙 Edwyn Collins. In her hands, however, Cameron flips the script, presenting the short but sweet 🎵 “Girl Like Me”.  The results, like her other preceding singles, are positive.

Cameron sings playfully, in an undertone.  Even though she’s calm, cool, and collected in her performance, she still exhibits an energy.  From the onset, there’s an air of enigma and naughtiness as Cameron sings, “Heathen / I could give you something to believe in / Got this self-fulfilling reputation / Talking like you’re God’s favorite creation.” Oh, snap! She’s confident, and while she suggests he’s ‘feeling himself,’ she makes it clear that he is NOT ready for her. “I’d give you a taste,” she sings in the chorus, “but you’d want more.” Why? Because, “Never met a girl like, never met a girl like me.” Besides the fun lyrics and Dove’s unique performance, the production (🎛 Evan Blair) and sound are a selling point. This is ear-catching and picturesque.

Final Thoughts 💭

Once more, Dove Cameron does her thing.  🎵 “Girl Like Me” gives her another enjoyable and respectable single ahead of her debut album.  No, it won’t change your life but there is plenty to like about this two-and-a-half-minute joint. Playful vocals, colorful instrumental, and fun lyrics make “A Girl Like Me” a winner.
