Growers. I don't think it's an album for the GP, there is no obvious hit. I listened two times and it's great, you can feel is an album that will grow with time.

It sounds like “Passionfruit” by Drake.
She never misses! I feel like this album has the spunk of her first album and the sophistication of her second but stands alone as a secret third thing
any
I've never enjoyed her music but after seeing an outpour of 10/10 reviews I decided to give it a chance and... The Diner is fun and irreverent. Bittersuite is enjoyable for a couple minutes of its run. Lunch is fun too, even if absolutely trite (this is the best word I found to describe how this album sounds). It sonds like a Sabrina Carpenter song that takes itself too seriously.
The rest is definitely not for me. Her vocals make me want to jump her with a shot of adrenaline, even when she's "belting" it sounds as if she's high on clonazepam, from the tone to the enunciation. She's literally mumbling over some of these tracks. I felt like Birds Of a Feather was fun, but the song didn't go anywhere. And the amount of mellow whispered half-enunciated guitar-led ballads... Everything is so still and stern. I'm physically tired after this album. It's like watching paint dry.

Oh, this is immersive. I know I'm about to be plugged into this non-stop. It's too early to say if it's her best yet (Happier Than Ever ended up being such a special album to me and one that I think will be hard to top) but fuck! Too many highlights to pick out but I was really struck by the Wildflower outro, the gorgeous sunny jangly Sundays-esque Birds of a Feather, the way that the last 2 tracks constantly twist and melt into different shapes...
Why doesn't all pop sound like this?

The Skinny to Lunch transition is Drowned World to Swim-coded
It's impressive that the songs are already long, but you want more.
Bittersuite needed to be 10 minutes.
I can live on this album soundscape.

Starting my first listen now and SKINNY is already hitting me hard and soft.
'people say I look happy just because I got skinny but the old me is still me and maybe the real me, and I think she's pretty' hurts a lot. How did she know exactly how I feel?? I fear I'm not mentally or emotionally ready for this journey but I'm strapped in!

What? This sounds nothing like Hole or Courtney Love?
