***Godzilla*** (stylised in all upper case) is the fourth studio album by Australian duo The Veronicas. It was released on 28 May 2021, and is their first album in seven years, following *The Veronicas (album) (2014).* It was followed by Human (2021)

Singles In My Blood, The Only High, Godzilla, and Sugar Daddy

## Background

Planning for The Veronicas' fourth studio album began in 2016 with the release of the single "In My Blood", which became their third Australian number-one single. The following month in an interview with *Entertainment Weekly*, they confirmed they had worked with Cathy Dennis, Jim Eliot and Ollipop on an "electro-fused" album due for release in November 2016, which failed to materialise.

Subsequent singles were released; "On Your Side" in 2016 and "The Only High" in 2017. The album was then meant to be released in June 2017, but was announced on 13 November 2017 that they would not release any new material until 2018.

The single "Think of Me" was released in March 2019 and was slated as the album's first single, however no further music was released in 2019 except for buzz single "Ugly" used to promote their MTV Australia reality show *The Veronicas: Blood Is For Life* which aired in late 2019.

*Human* was originally announced as the duo's fourth album upon the release of "Biting My Tongue", however on 26 March 202 1 the single "Godzilla" was released, with an album of the same name announced for release on 28 May, with Human to follow five weeks later.

Songs from prior projects included 101 and Sugar Daddy along side the singles In My Blood, The Only High and the title track: Godzilla (Song).

## Reception

Jake Cleland from *Stack Magazine* said "Savage guitars, curly dance anthems and schoolyard bops cover enough ground that it feels curated from dozens of ideas into a rock-solid cross-section of their best ones."

Laura English from *Music Feeds* said "*Godzilla* is 12-track effort that sees The Veronicas hone in on that sound that made us all love them in the first place. It's genre-defying, it's all the best bits of electro-pop with an emo twist. But there's also a hip hop influence to the album that works so well."

*Women in Pop* said "Packed with every ingredient that makes pop music so special - gorgeous melodies, lyrics that connect, stunning vocals - The Veronicas have quite possibly released one of the best albums of 2021."

Retropop magazine says it's highlights are Stealing Cars, In It To Win It and 101, alongside In My Blood and The Only High

Sanity.com.au says it "fits neatly between Hook Me Up (Album) (Their second album) and their self titled third album"

WomanInPop: ‘High Score’ has a classic synthpop sound with lyrics to match, looking back on the joys of youth when the most important thing was meeting friends at the video arcade: ‘When did things get so complicated?…I wish we could go back to the days when you would meet me at the arcade…playing video games’ they sing. ‘Stealing Cars’ follows a similar path with a bassline straight from the *Countdown* set and lyrics wistfully looking at a life that may not have lived up to expectations but is made worthwhile by the person you are with - ‘broken dreams that litter the sidewalk…wasting time, but wasting my time with you’. ‘In It To Win It’ is a pumping R&B tinged track back with bursts of synth, vocodered vocals and a hypnotic, chanty chorus.
