I don't know if it's because I'm overly patriotic after yesterday's win at the 4 nations, but Tate's music has never sounded this good ever. Maybe she actually just dropped an enjoyable album for once.
As a grown man who has worked very hard on himself over the past few years, I can admit when I’m wrong.
