Foxy Digitals Review
Anna Weesner’s (using the collaborative moniker Professor Girlfriend) My Mother in Love grows like something inevitable yet impossible to predict. Charlotte Mundy’s voice cascades between angelic delicacy and monstrous noise, and honestly, it’s kind of unreal how naturally she inhabits that range. The seventeen musicians don’t just accompany these ten reimagined pieces; they bathe them in textures that feel both meticulously crafted and accidentally discovered. What makes this collaboration so luminous and enchanting is its embrace of the uncertain. Born from canceled meetings and living room experiments, it becomes this love letter to how music seeps into the cracks of our most vulnerable moments. Art song bleeds into chamber pop. The walls between genres dissolve. We are transported to that liminal space where mothers sit motionless at kitchen tables while something transcendent unfolds in the silence.

Rag Mag: “Professor Girlfriend Releases My Mother in Love: The Summer Sessions”
The Professor Girlfriend project just released an outstanding set of songs that bring together this almost welcoming tonality and lyrics that feel relevant and personal while being poetic, but descriptive simultaneously, and it all has this character to it. This is one of the most lush, theatrical, and strangely inviting records I’ve heard in such a long time that I couldn’t turn away from it….The My Mother In Love: The Summer Sessions is such a unique combination of songwriting approaches and orchestral soundscape…This is an album that absolutely breeds its own aesthetic. There’s nothing like it at all.
