Dempsey is discussing some dark topics on this one. Even if the writing can be questionable at times, the flows and beats combune to create a good album.
Overall good project with string production but a lot of it blends together.
I was honestly kinda scared going into this, and while it was unsettling, as it went on It started feeling quite... nice honestly. This project gave me chills at multiple points and it was definitely an experience. I wasn.t expecting it, but this is probably my AOTY so far (yes I know it's an EP but still)
The mixing on some tracks feels muddy and I feel the quality of the tracks is kinda inconsistent, but overall it's a pretty good short album
Enjoy the vibe on this and a few tracks were pretty good but that's about it.
Some tracks do go pretty hard and I like the guitar that's occasionaly used here. It's kinda generic though.

I kinda found that this album feels like what the cover looks. It's very atmospheric, almost makes you feel like you're listening underwater. I enjoy Billie's singing a lot here, it really is impressive how much her vocal ability improved since she first blew up, there are some moments where her singing along with the great production gave me chills, and it happened quite a few times too. I do think that the latter half isn't as good as the first one, but ... read more
