Stunning singer-songwriter album in the manner of sophisticated British indie folk, with some slow and sparsely backed songs such as "Willow", one of my favourite tracks here. The other twelve songs are also really worth hearing, I like the poetic lyrics, the subtle instrumentation and the both gentle and expressive voice of Isabella Sophie Tweddle aka Billie Marten from Ripon, New Yorkshire.

Honestly, going through some of the music that has been released throughout 2023 is quite tiring when it comes to trying to write the best reviews that I can, mainly because most of the albums that I've listened to, aren't all that different from one another, so there's only so many ways that I can re-phrase the same thing until I run out of synonyms for the same words.

A very pretty and solid set of songs from Billie. The instrumentals are simple, but it works mostly in her favor here, especially when her voice is so memorable on its own.

Fav Songs: New Idea, God Above, Just Us, I Can't Get My Head Around You, Devil Swim, Drop Cherries

Same thing I’ve said about Tennis and Alice Phoebe Lou. Billie Marten does one thing every album, and every time she does it so well in a way where I always want to come back for her next project no matter what.

Wonderful album to set some cozy ambience in your bedroom to.

This album is a real joy to listen to from start to finish! It sticks onto a really nice sweet vibe that I find myself feeling like I'm floating on a sweet cloud, and that's a great feeling :) I do think the album doesn't have a lot of huge standouts to me, which brings it down for me a little bit, and it's not quite my thing in every aspect, but it knows what it wants to do, and it succeeds really well at doing just that. An overall great album, and I had a wonderful time listening to it! ... read more
