Thrive

I went in expecting some country, and I got pop-rock. Maybe inspired by the genre's return to the top of the charts, Cassadee goes back to her roots with "Thrive". It's quite harmless for the most part and can make for a good time listening. The thing is, bringing this sound in 2021 without sounding dated requires a bit more effort, and that seems to be missing here. It ends up feeling like a run of the mill 2000s album released way too late in 2021.
