We have here the most surprisingly shocking release of the year? I honestly don't even know how to react to this album and the sheer number of songs of PURE quality, perhaps genuinely for the first time in WILLOW's career. I don't know if it's too early to say, but maybe she has finally found the perfect balance of all the influences she has and blended them perfectly, whether in rock, experimental, r&b, pop, and so on.

The biggest artistic glow-up ever.
I rediscovered WILLOW this year with her amazing single symptom of life, and since then I’ve been incredibly hyped for this record and now it’s finally here!

much like Carly Rae Jepsen, she put out a "one hit wonder"-type song and then went on to make stuff that's more niche. Streaming and the fragmented nature by which people consume music now has steered artists like this toward this type of stuff
