    Yeah, this is instantly my album of the year so far. I loved the last one a ton, and still feel like this is a big step up.

    I remember only checking out a few songs from the last one but never getting around to listening to the full thing but one played after this finished and instantly grabbed my attention so I'm gonna need to go back to that one soon.

    The EP she released between the last album and this one is also very good.

    Some Midnights vibes on her last album, so I'm not surprised you enjoy it.

    Definitely on my list.

    Wow, this album is fantastic. Gonna be playing this a ton this weekend. Title track and Red Chevy are my early favorites.

    "Die Happy" was such a bad first single choice in retrospect, kind of the blandest song on here. Really enjoying "Make It All Better", "White Noise", and "Drunk Dialing". AOTY nominee for sure, excited to catch her in June.

    So happy to see people into this record and hoping it elevates her to where she SHOULD be in the realm of modern pop. Incredibly consistent artist.

    I somehow missed that song when it came out last year, so my first taste of this album was "To Love Somebody," which would have been kind of the ideal leadoff single, IMO. I like "Die Happy" a lot, but it's a little puzzling as a first single.

    Thanks for the tag and reminding me this came out today!

    Honestly she's been all over my Facebook/ Instagram ads with her new album specifically the song Cruel World and she definitely is in my wheelhouse.

    Intro and first three songs are literally eleven perfect minutes of music.

    Liked this a lot more than her last album, only a few songs on here I don't really gel with but otherwise it's good

    Outside of the unreal run to start the album, Red Chevy standing out to me the past few days

    Red Chevy has been my favorite off this so far

    I must be the weirdest person in the world because Red Chevy was the first song I didn't like haha

    Haven't had the chance to listen to this a ton but it's very good

    is it the same for you? Prestigious

    I like that song, but it's hard to imagine a Chevrolet existing in England

    One of my favorites. Not sure if anyone feels this but I constantly get Gaslight Anthem / Menzingers vibes from her songs, despite it being pop.

    Like Make It All Better totally sounds like something off of a Menzingers album.

    The title track has been stuck in my head for over a week now

    I've gotten to the point where this is basically all I'm listening to and I just start over again when it wraps
