In Search of the Antidote

by FLETCHER

Overview

In 2022, FLETCHER landed in the Billboard 200 Top 20 with the self-examining, self-affirming, and lovestruck Girl of My Dreams. On the follow-up, she struggles to pick up the pieces on the explosive turn into sadness and rejection that constitutes In Search of the Antidote. Some of its characteristic sentiments include lines like, "The thought of you is torture" ("Lead Me On") and "I'm burning down my world again" (opener "Maybe I Am"). Recorded with a slate of producers, including returning main producer/co-songwriter Jennifer Decilveo as well as FLETCHER first-timers such as Pete Nappi (Maroon 5, the Score), the Monsters & Strangerz (Jonas Brothers, Katy Perry), and singer/songwriter Jon Bellion, it revisits familiar electro-pop territory while upping the anguish and explicit content. Essentially a set of danceable power ballads about people who get past the bouncer at the club ("You'll never f*ck somebody hotter"), it may have some cringy, bratty lyrics at first listen (catch also "Joyride"'s anthemically delivered "You were in my dreams/Now I'm in your bed"), but, supported by performances, the raw vulnerability is the point. Ultimately, In Search of the Antidote followed Girl of My Dreams into the Top 40. ~ Marcy Donelson
