This woman is so special.
Her vocals are like honey so smooth and deliver on everything she touch.
Lyrically this album seems a bit more intimate and raw than previous albums which I’m always here for she is a great story teller and the production is stunning, Rich when it needs to be and soft and acoustic with gorgeous synths.
I absolutely love this woman and everything she releases if I had to pick a favourite track it’ll be “All my heroes” the choral background vocals just Wow!

I really like the Bruce Springsteen inspiration that I'm hearing so far. Nothing really stands out for me on an initial listen, like Falling, You and I, or Chasing a Feeling.
Yes, I enjoyed this but it does just feel like 'more of the same'.
I love the 80s influences all over this, without straight up copying the sound. I hear lots of Bruce Springsteen, Belinda Carlisle and Fleetwood Mac.
But as pointed out it does grow a bit stale after an entire album. It could have used one or two proper bangers.

This is excellent; i'm surprised how much I like it based on the pre-release tracks. Wildest Dreams has epic Springsteen-on-the-run vibes-- Look Like That, All My Heroes, Lift You Up-- some of her best since her early days. It's pretty glorious
...but the cover sucks. I wish she'd used this:

Finally got round to listening tonight, Soaked was one of my favourite songs last year so was excited to hear it. It's all pretty great, I don't know if anything on it surpasses the pre-release material but I've added Wildest Dreams to my 2022 playlist for now.
LÉON's going on tour!

Got LA VIP tickets as a surprise for my boyfriend. So excited to see her and at a pretty nice venue (Wiltern).
Got LA tickets too-- amazed that it sold out so quickly; a couple of friends weren't able to get tickets. Wasn't expecting that but pleased for Leon! Can't wait to hear this beautiful album live.
I think this is the first time in five years she isn't ignoring Sweden!
