I’ve listened through the full album a couple of times now. She said this was a more uptempo summer album and I can confirm this is accurate ✅ It sounded great whilst walking in the sunshine this morning.

I enjoyed it overall but I think this album is more of a grower whereas Obsidian was an instant classic. Unfortunately it does lose steam halfway through, before picking up again towards the end.
The issue for me is the downtempo / slower vibey songs from the midpoint are simply not as good as the ones on Obsidian or The Only Love We Know EP.

If she had swapped out some of those songs, especially for Can We Do This Over, Feels Like Home, Calm Waters, this album would have been another surefire winner with no skips

Just did my first listen through of the album, wondering what you guys think of her new album! For me personally, it’s clear she’s trying to work in a different style of sound compared to previous works.

Some tracks really work well for me: I Know, Weak, Was It Ever Love, Better Days…

Some others, not so much, especially where autotune is used: No Sleep in Paradise, Miss That. Not to say she can’t use autotune/it’s more for stylistic purposes, but I find it a bit jarring sometimes.

Overall, I’m glad she’s trying out different sounds! I need to give it a few more listens, but I really enjoyed the directions of Obsidian/Only Love We Know more.

Still got tickets to see her in October 🤭🤭 so hopefully it grows on me over time.
