best records of the year twenty twenty one

This record is unlike anything Hayley has ever put out before, and not in a bad way. Although I prefer her debut solo record from last year, and many of the paramore records overall, this is still really solid. Inordinary is one of the most beautiful songs of the year, and Hayley remains to be one of my favorite vocalists of all time, regardless of if she is singing pop-punk to new-wave style music with Paramore, or a more slow and intimate indie-folk record like this one.

solid alt-country/singer-songwriter project. I might prefer this to her last record from 2019 by a bit.

This was a release that wasn't really on my radar. I went to go see Julien Baker, and Lexi was one of the openers that night. This album had just came out that day, and she performed a few songs from it. I checked out the full thing when i got back, and I was not disappointed. Good indie pop with some solid guitar work.
