How’d I get so jaded at only 22?
Ruby Frost, Young
Why do I feel tired at 22, like all my dreams fell through?
Lydia Cole, Hibernate
Clearly 22 is a difficult age for young Kiwi women singers. But their quarter-life crises have resulted in a couple of great songs. Lydia’s is quiet, acoustic and vulnerable, Ruby’s is loud, electronic and brash, but they’ve both been running through my head for the last few weeks.
