While Madonna decides to make a move with the promotion of her album “Confessions Pt. 2”, Mimi Webb reminds you that she already released her own ‘Confessions’ in September 2025, not even a year ago. This Friday, February 20, he releases a reissue titled ‘Confessions: An Unexpected Turn of Events’, which could live up to its title by launching Webb into the mainstream.
Webb, who is no newcomer, as her debut full-length, ‘Seven Shades of Heartbreak’, was released in 2021, has hit all the beats expected for a current pop star, going from Taylor Swift-style pop-folk of ‘Good Without’ to the eighties pop of ‘Ghost of You’, a song produced by Stuart Price, by the way and since we were talking about Madonna.
In all cases the streamings are very high, but we cannot say that Mimi Webb is a world-known star. In fact, in the case of ‘Confessions’, the numbers are surprisingly low for an artist of her profile.
Webb needs to climb the next step and he could get there thanks to ‘Eyed Closed’, his bet to relaunch ‘Confessions’. ‘Eyes Closed’ is a disco-pop candy that doesn’t complicate life, being somewhat generic on the one hand, but addictive on the other. If at first it seems too similar to ‘Kiss Me More’ by Doja Cat and SZA, then it manages to hook you thanks to its final vocal melody, where Webb sings that “I love him, love him with my eyes closed” harmonizing herself.
The “subtle hook” effect of ‘Eyes Closed’ is reminiscent of Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Espresso’, and it is not surprising because its composer Amy Allen is a collaborator of Webb and appears in the credits of ‘Eyes Closed’ and another of her best songs, ‘Love Language’, also contained in ‘Confessions’.
