Star-Crossed was stretched across too many directions marketing-wise, and I do think that's tainted what was a solid album. If the aim was a pop single, everything should've kicked off headfirst with Justified. Or Breadwinner should've gotten the push when it naturally gained traction. There's some great songs on there, and the new single has me circling back.
That said, Deeper Well feels like a palette cleanser and a great point of growth off the back of it. She's clearly killing it on Spotify. The Zach Bryan collab has really helped her, and it already seems like there's a way more streamlined approach to presenting this album. I'm happy the boom country music is having has benefitted her.
