Colleen Green – I Want To Grow Up The blasé expression of Colleen Green on the cover of her album I Want To Grow Up is a perfect representation of the theme of her album, an account of Green’s apathetic self-reflection of transitioning into adulthood.

Say what you want about the closing chapter […]
