Charmless Man - Damon Albarn
Its 1987 and in the heart of South London, Clover Smith is navigating the trials of teenage life: school, friendships, and the occasional existential crisis. At 19, her world is cozy and predictable, shaped by her close bond with her witty best friend, Natalie, and the steady presence of her mother, who has always encouraged her to follow her own path.
But when Damon Albarn moves in next door, everything changes. With his tousled blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, and an artsy flair that draws attention, he's the kind of boy that turns heads-except when he's being an insufferable jerk. His arrival stirs up Clover's routine, and their first encounter leaves her more irritated than enchanted.
As Clover grapples with her budding feelings for the boy who seems determined to keep her at arm's length, she finds herself pulled into a whirlwind of teenage angst, misunderstandings, and unexpected connections. Set against the backdrop of the late '80s and early '90s, this coming-of-age tale explores the bittersweet realities of growing up, the chaos of first impressions, and the tension between love and annoyance.
Very Gilmore girls vibes.
