How did Julia Jacklin's songwriting change from her first album to her third?

Her songwriting shifted from storytelling to confession. On Don’t Let the Kids Win (2016), she used character studies and third-person vignettes like “Pool Party.” By Pre Pleasure (2022), the “I” is almost always her, with direct self-examinations like “Complex” and raw love letters like “End of the Earth.” She stopped worrying about making the narrator likeable, and the songs got shorter and tighter—less polishing, more immediate emotional truth.
