I Love My Computer is the debut studio album by Australian electronic DJ and producer Ninajirachi, whose real name is Nina Wilson. It was released on 8 August 2025 by NLV Records.

Contents

Primarily written and produced by Wilson herself, I Love My Computer is an electronic dance music album inspired by Australian electronic music from her childhood, as well as the genres of trance and complextro. [11] Upon announcement, she said "I've spent more time with my computer than any one person. It helped me discover who I am… All of my music is computer music—it's my instrument, and I don't know who I would be without it." [3] The album is noted for its loosely autobiographical lyricism and commentary on technology and the Internet, as well as references to online and Australian culture.

I Love My Computer received critical acclaim and, five months after its release, the album reached No. 1 on the ARIA Australian Album Chart. Previously, it won Best Independent Release [12] at the 2025 ARIA Music Awards, and was also nominated for Album of the Year, Best Dance/Electronic Release, Best Cover Art, Best Engineered Release and Best Produced Release. [13] It also won the 2025 Australian Music Prize [14] and Album of the Year at the 2025 J Awards, with the music video for "Fuck My Computer" winning Music Video of the Year. [15]

Critical reception

Jared Richards of The Guardian described the album as "an immensely fun and inventive dance album that doubles as a surprisingly touching coming-of-age story." [7]

Alessio Anesi of EDM.com said: "The stunning album effectively crystallises the Australian artist as one of today's brightest young stars in the electronic music scene." Anesi said "[the] production lands as among the most unique in the contemporary electronic music landscape. Although Ninajirachi draws from sounds that were trending when she just was a toddler—like electroclash, YK2[ sic ] trance and the complextro of Wolfgang Gartner and Zedd—this record feels modern and completely her own." [16]

Katie Bain of Billboard described the album as "smart, stylish and ebullient, with a bit of edge and a lot of observations on living and loving in our computer world", calling it "one of the year's best dance albums". [17]
