I wish her name was more interesting so I could have discovered her sooner.
Review: Yeah, it's a folksy record, but the word that comes to my mind is delicate. It feels very soft and spacious and simply, delicate. Outside noise would ruin the experience. I like that there isn't much distractions so the piano keys or guitar strums really echos. The first two songs, I was like, "okay, she's one of those artist." and "tap" showed that she could have an accessible song. But "memory" was where I went "oh wow." I just love how there's a steady rhythm and her voice won me.
"unsaid" has finger picking guitars and the piano just knows when to be pressed. I was just mesmerized by how smooth the song goes. "sunstruck" is good too, but it has a music video so maybe the visuals changed the way i approached her. i didn't know she was this young. Anyways, i like the song, but i imagine i would have hated it if that was my first impression.
"collect caller" sounded awkward at first, but it grew on me. "stoned" has her sing like this was her spotify indie playlist single. it stands out because it soars, but maybe a bit too pop. "happy accident" kind of drags, but it also felt like the album's climax. "possessed" is short. and finally "idkwntht" has male backing vocal. if "happy accident" was the climax, then "idkwntht" is the sweet goodbye home.
Summary: delicate is the word i keep coming back to, to describe this album. it'll take time for the lyrics to really hit me, but just listening to her, it feels cozy and soft and ultimately, delicate. her music has details that make me want to pay attention even thought for others, i would have deemed boring.
Favorite Songs: memory, unsaid, sunstruck
Rating: 8/10
