Pinned Review
Chimeric orchestral folk-trap. Her richest, loosest storytelling yet. She's at her most confident— free enough to include an entire sermon, sprawling poetry, ad-libs, unpolished vocals, and genre-mashing. It reveals itself more with each listen. It's the most lore-heavy record in her discography. The vocal delivery and production nuances are best isolated with noise-canceling headphones. I heard the album in full at a record store early listening event and the tracks sound entirely ... read more

I didn’t really have expectations going into it but what happened here? This doesn’t have the structure or feel of a debut (half) album. It’s confusing. Trying to be thematic maybe? But for what?? Disjointed, strange mixing, and can’t decide what it wants so be. So weird.

Thank you so much for your comment! Omg I didn't even know of that mag/their awful, childish coverage of the situation. You can tell that reviewer is an oddball who intentionally misses the point. Thanks for reading and letting me know about it:)

Hey Zachary! To celebrate 500 followers I’m starting my first community list on this website!
The topic is simple: What’s your biggest guilty pleasure song that you secretly love but maybe don’t want to admit to others?
You can give a short explanation if you want, not gonna force you to! I’ll be compiling everyone’s results over the next few days and I’ll let you know once the list is ready! (Likely end of this week)
Thanks for your time!

About
I enjoy investing in album cycles and am influenced by rollouts, art direction, and PR because I work in branding. It factors into my score, more so for more mainstream artists. I also don't treat albums as the sum of their tracks. I value the overall album experience.
Things I reward / weight when I consider scores:
• Sonic experimentation
• Solid rollouts and cohesive eras
• Concept albums
• Genre-pushing
• Context within discography
