A beautiful, well paced album full of amazing lyrics and one of the most beautiful males voices out there. Criminally underrated; you immediately feel like you are laying in the grass, sun shining and a light breeze is going over you. Warm, comforting and a desire for more.
This will forever be a favorite album of mine. It takes me back to such a specific time and place in my life that no other album ever will. No skips, each song is an absolute banger (even the slower, more emotionally heavy songs). The intro of Welcome To New York is an underrated album opener and that slow fade in will ALWAYS make me happy.
This is, by far, not her best album but its FUN. The production and throwback vibes kill with her nonchalant vocals and she still finds moments to show off her true, raw talent. This is an album that gets better with every listen.
This was my first time listening to the album top to bottom and a friend made me read the lyrics as we listened. She did explain the backstory of each song which gives you the full vision of what Cain was going for. Horribly sad, gut wrenching, tragic yet beautiful. Somehow finding the beauty in the horrifying world we live in and the things we experience. This album will take you on a ride if you give it the time to do it.
Not groundbreaking for Rogers but its a great listen regardless. Don't break the mold but still excels in that mold.
