Every once in a while, an album comes along that feels less like a playlist and more like a diary cracked open on the internet. Glitch Amour’s debut, Love.exe, is exactly that — a neon-lit scrapbook of heartbreak, joy, and digital chaos. Imagine bubblegum pop meeting a computer virus, and you’re halfway there. From the very first track, Je t’aime.corrupted, you’re pulled into her world: love confessions turned into static, sweetness breaking under the weight of a glitch. It’s not your usual love song — it’s the sound of trying to say “I love you” in a text that won’t quite send. Then comes Bubblegun Heart, a track that’s as cheeky as it is tender, bouncing with sugary beats while sneaking in a sting of sadness underneath.
The album thrives on its contrasts. 404: Emotions Not Found and Delete My Feelings toy with the coldness of technology but lace it with very real vulnerability. I Kissed Your Ghost in My DMs might be the most striking moment — a dreamy, slightly spooky anthem about longing for someone who only exists in memory (or maybe in a message you’ll never get back). Meanwhile, Pixel Tears slows the chaos into something fragile and cinematic, showing us that even digital girls cry. But it’s not all melancholy. Tracks like Softboy.exe and Hyperheart Crash pump in energy, playful rebellion, and the kind of hyperpop fireworks that make you want to dance in your bedroom with the lights off. And of course, the title track Love.exe ties the whole project together: a song about trying to reboot yourself after heartbreak, even when the error messages keep flashing.
What makes Love.exe shine is how it balances fun with feeling. It’s glittery, loud, and cheeky, but underneath all the autotune and chaos, you can hear something deeply human. Glitch Amour may sing like a pop cyborg caught between love and code, but the emotions are as real as they come. For fans of Glaive, osquinn, or even the colourful madness of 100 gecs, this is an album that scratches that itch — but it also carves out its own digital soul. With Love.exe, Glitch Amour proves that heartbreak can be just as sweet, messy, and relatable in cyberspace as it is in real life. It’s bubblegum heartbreak with a glitchcore smile — and it’s impossible not to get hooked.
