Listened to this as an AURORA fan without knowing anything about Tom Rowlands. In that lens, a lot of this album doesnt do a ton for me but the songs I like here have dug their nails into my brain.

They kinda mix it up a little with some of the ... read more

I like it overall, though some songs a lot more than others. Her production choices are cool and I feel like theres a lot to be found in here, same with the writing. I really wasnt paying attention to the lyrics as much as I was just taking in the vibe, but I liked what I caught on first ... read more
