Insightful is criminally underrated, dude has been making incredible music for a looooong time and only seems to be getting better as time goes on. 33 is still one of my all time favorite albums, this one is definitely his best work since then.
New kids on the block are killing it, great debut. I'm excited to see where they go from here with such a strong start.
Fuck, man. I had no idea this was coming out until the day it dropped and what a pleasant surprise. I haven't felt such warmth from an album since Noname dropped Telefone back in 2016. I haven't listened to JAmes Ivy before, but I'll absolutely be checking him out after this. What a gorgeous project.

She has such a powerful, soothing, seductive voice. It's so easy to get lost it in alongside the smooth and almost dreamy production. "Under Your Skin" is definitely my favorite out of the bunch. Super solid EP.
Having listened to Atavista, I can't deny that I prefer the original version to it's more polished counterpart. The rougher, muddier mixes give each track so much character, along with the sometimes jarring and even awkward transitions. Something about this hits different than Atavista, it feels so much more tied to the moment it was released. This album lived with me through all of 2020 ad beyond, so perhaps I'm too married to it.

Such a great album and ahead of the curve. If only Banks weren't such an objectively terrible person.
Another review called this "quirked up white boy bedroom pop Michael Jackson" and I can't think of a more perfect description.
Unbelievable OST for an unbelievable game.
A beautiful return to form from Chance. After "The Big Day", wasn't sure if the guy still had it in him, but he definitely proved a lot of people wrong. This is a more seasoned, mature Chance. You can tell he's had a lot of life experience in between this and his previous album. While it's still not as good as "Coloring Book", it's still a pretty good album.
Welcome back, Chance.

Fun as hell, Remi Wolf put together a super tight EP with this one. Was perfect to lift my spirits in the dreary year that was 2020 and continued to do so to this day. Dope.
Only songs I like are Eternal and Handsome, everything else is dogwater tbh.
Genuinely underrated IMO.
