I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS ALBUM!!! The way one song transitions from another is just so perfect. It's not jarring in the slightest. The synths in this album sound so magical, making every song feel like a dream.

this album just scratches that itchy part of my brain that craves electropop music. i have no words i can use to explain how amazed i am with the production. listening to the whole album makes me feel like i'm ascending.

i love how the songs in this album sound so familiar and also experimental at the same time, but it also somehow sounds so messy (in a good way) and clean at the same time.

this album is definitely one of the best releases for the year 2026 for me.

the EP is quite solid but in a way that brings nothing new to tha table / doesn't really break any barriers which is honestly okay. and while i do think that the title track, ice cream, does the heavy lifting for the whole EP, i do think that the rest of the songs are quite good to just mindlessly listen to (in a positive way.

this is the album that introduced me to valencia grace, and i have to admit that it got me hooked. i love how outlandish (compliment) her music is without sounding messy.

needless to say, i'll be diving into her discography and i'm excited!
