I Want to Grow Up is the third studio album by American indie pop musician Colleen Green, released on February 24, 2015 through Hardly Art.
[3] Green spoke on recording the album in an interview with Stereogum: I've definitely achieved the sound that I wanted, but it was a lot easier this time because, instead of obsessing over one thing and being by myself and not having anyone to bounce it off of, I would be like, "Hey, what do you think about blank?"
"[9] Nick Freed, writing for Consequence of Sound, described the album as an "exploration of a day in the life of a 30-year-old with an infectious punk rock soundtrack.
[8] Noel Gardner of NME wrote that "While I Want To Grow Up doesn’t exactly break new ground, it compensates by being affecting, relatable and having occasional gnarly solos.
"[7] Ben Ratliff at The New York Times wrote that "Around her songs, there is a basic air of competence, toughness, self-reliance — she's organized her sound, has identified her neuroses and doesn't need your help.
