Score

Original songs that slap harder than they should.

Best for:Solo: When you need to feel something and maybe rage-cry.·Friends: Debate afterwards: is she leader or symbol?·Streaming: Pause to scream at Julia's choices. You'll need to.
Heads up:Sexual Content: Harassment depictions; not gratuitous but visceral.
