This is one of the most unique projects (and artists) of the 2020’s. It’s like if that quirky girl grew up to make the most relatable R&B ever. It grows so personal as the album progresses. Also, I want to be this album cover when I grow up.

Damn, now I feel like shit. This is an insanely consistent album, it has this very specific mood throughout. Depression in a bottle, basically. I love the despair and the genuinity.

This is like, cute, campy, late 2000’s pop with a mix of EDM while also being very hyperpop? It’s very light and fun to listen, and Kim’s voice and attitude makes it even better.

I’m really surprised I liked this more than Renaissance. I never thought I’d like a country album either, but I mean, she’s Beyoncé. It’s slightly repetitive, but it innovates and bends the country genre.
