Late to the party with this one. Really a great pop album with great production throughout. Not all of it is my personal flavour, but every song has its place here. Great songwriting that varies from surface level, to introspective. Deserves the hype. Favourite Tracks: - Club classics - Sympathy is a knife - Von dutch - B2b - 365

The production here is off the charts. For someone who was constantly deemed ahead of the curve with pop in the late 2010's, this album seemed to finally be when the popularity caught up with the style. Oddly enough, I think several songs on here work more as reloaded versions of 2010's EDM pop. "360" and "Von dutch", perhaps the two most well known songs, sound great but I don't think they necessarily embody what built the craze over the years prior. Ironically, the ohmage to a decade old style just with refreshing production makes it so good. There are a lot of songs on here that have a heavily amount of variety with each song and are surely what people deemed "the future of pop" too. "365" features some crazy switch ups that is respectable from any dance fan. A lot of the choruses also are fun and catchy. Truthfully, this thing wasn't entirely for me. I was not the target audience and even though I try to appreciate music regardless of my personal tastes... that's how music reviewing goes. I'm here reviewing what I like and don't like and some of the lyrical matter didn't hit that deep for me. Some of the choruses were a bit repetitive and some of the production does go a little over the top at times. I can certainly appreciate that she created something within the zeitgeist that critics and fans adore, but I am outside of those bubbles.

I cant believe I slept on this album for so long, I’m sorry charli
