I always look back on this record and remember that apart from Speak Now and folklore, not a single other Taylor Swift album has such nostalgia in its writing, and not a day goes by I don’t think about how nostalgic this record hits and how its maturity in themes and lyrics makes the minxed and simple-minded seem small. ... read more
If I’m gonna be brutally honest, Addison Rae has the most focused and Machiavellian planing of an artistry amongst the many 2025 new Artists that emerged primarily during that year. I knew she had game, just not that she could achieve platinum hit status, which her debut album shows.
