I’ve recently returned to Evermore after a few months away and it’s just as lush and magical as I remember. Every song is so rich with layer and layer of detail. The whole soundscape of the album is just so flawlessly crafted.
The lyrics effortlessly paint these rich portraits that bring everything to life. There are lines in some songs that say more about the worlds they’re building and characters within them than some authors manage to do with entire chapters.
It’s one of my favourite bodies of work to just get lost in late at night.
In a discography stacked with some of the greatest pop songs ever made*, it’s this body of work, in my opinion, that sits as her crowning achievement. How lucky we are to have it.
*…and, because you can’t have the very best without the very worst, some of the most terminally elder millennial, tumblr lurking cringe-core songs ever to haunt our universe.
