Hello
AllMusic Staff Pick – July 18, 2025
Poe
Hello
October 10, 1995
Alternative Pop/Rock
One of the most underrated artists of her generation, the enigmatic Poe made her debut 30 years ago this month with this album, which blends trip-hop beats, jazzy soundscapes, and alt-rock guitars while channeling Chrissie Hynde, Suzanne Vega, and Tori Amos. This is a heady trip into her early, very '90s-sounding sonic world, which holds up all these decades later. "Hello," "Trigger Happy Jack," "Angry Johnny," and "Dolphin" are all standouts.
- Neil Z. Yeung
