kinda slaps, not gonna lie. It’s super tightly produced and arranged, aesthetically textured pop. Which is good, because I’ve been looking forward to listening to her for a while. I’ve loved every single song I’ve heard her with a credit on. Photo ID with Dominic Fike (though that’s pretty thoroughly her song with him on it), pool with Still Woozy, WELLL with Jacob Collier. Once I realized she was a connecting line between all those I got kinda pumped, and I don’t feel let down.
The eps and singles are great, and the albums are solid. I like almost every song, and not just a little. The albums are super consistent, they’re good, but I also feeling like I’m missing something from them (mostly the first one, Juno) that I can’t put my finger on. Iunno. They don’t have any real standouts, but just about every song is super solid. And the thing I’m missing feels more like something I need to give myself time to connect to than something I won’t connect to, or something that doesn’t exist.
Fingers crossed for that, but even without it I can’t deny how consistently enjoyable and high quality all of her stuff is. I can’t really give it anything lower than an A. It being this high up above some other people I love is partly a prediction of how much I’ll enjoy her in a month, but I think that prediction is entirely founded. She’s great.
