I get a whole lot more entertainment reading their pretentious Spotify artist description, than hearing this album. What I get the most out of these 9 tracks is that they just didn't try.

Luckily, this does give me some hope for her next project (assuming this is a single for an upcoming release). I think what prevents me from calling this a great single is the generic production ... read more
