{"product_id":"what_makes_a_girl_a_girl","title":"What Makes A Girl A Girl","description":"\u003cp\u003eEsha Tewari’s What Makes a Girl a Girl is a six‑track mini‑album (often labeled an EP) released in February 2026 that expands on her 2025 EP What Makes a Girl by adding two new songs and sharpening its thematic focus. Rooted in dreamy, guitar‑driven alt‑rock with a bedroom‑pop intimacy, the record runs about 20 minutes and moves quickly between hazy indie textures, punchier rock moments, and diaristic, almost spoken confessions. Tracks like “Muse” and “In Twos” set the sonic tone: reverb‑soaked guitars, simple but effective drums, and Esha’s clear, slightly fragile vocals sitting right at the front of the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLyrically, the project interrogates what it means to be a girl under social expectations and stereotype, balancing anger, humor, and self‑doubt. Across songs such as “About Me,” “The Winner,” “Cars and Gasoline,” and “Where Our Streets Met,” Tewari writes about being reduced to a muse, being underestimated, playing roles in relationships, and trying to define herself outside of other people’s narratives. Reviewers note that the full six‑song version feels more like a complete coming‑of‑age short film than a simple EP: the sequencing starts in a somewhat dreamy, infatuated space and gradually grows sharper and more self‑possessed, leaving the listener with the sense of someone still figuring things out but no longer willing to shrink herself to fit anyone else’s idea of “what makes a girl a girl.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":53414811369786,"sku":"37894","price":46.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-05-06_at_2.06.28_PM.jpeg?v=1781251206","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/what_makes_a_girl_a_girl","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
