Lovett Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 I've listened to the album so many times and I think it's great. I enjoy just having it on in the background as I find it really relaxing.
TheDreamer Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Rose Colored Lenses should have been the 2nd single released right before the album Truly a euphoric smasha!

Solgayleo Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 I still think this is her best album. The most consistently good one she’s ever released. Plastic Hearts had better songs, but ESV is overall a more cohesive, consistent, and higher quality effort.

Flowers is already back to #1 there, River is like #5 now. I like River, but it doesn't like a hit to me at all. It'll probably drop like a rock on radio as soon as the first week deal is over. A Tiktok viral is probably it's only chance, but I don't see that happening either. Jaded sounds more like a traditional hit to me and american listeners seem to enjoy it more too, it is stable at the T40 despite much less playlisting exposure.
Aaron Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 I miss when her numbers weren’t important when she was consistently flopping after YN up until Flowers. I don’t remember caring about SIC or PH’s numbers and was content with her being a forgotten fad. Ugh, she just had to sneakily drop the biggest hit of the year and now all eyes are on her. I’m just glad I really enjoy the album because everything else surrounding it besides Flowers has been stressful
FunCoric Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Album is a grower I kinda think river is the worst song tho
skwonderfactory Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) I think I may give this a proper listen today, all I’ve heard thus far is like “Flowers” like five times max. I loved Plastic Hearts so my expectations are kinda high. Edited March 14, 2023 by skwonderfactory
bopboy Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 i’ve had this on repeat all week and it just gets better with each listen
pika Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 They need to reduce River to a promo single and cut their losses. It’s too gay and noisy without a big enough hook to carry it. Should’ve been a collab with Selena, removed the awful 2nd verse and redone the chorus to work. While I don’t care for the album, Jaded has the benefit of being an able album seller and showing her talent all in one. BBC Lounge or a Tiny Desk performance + a few TikToks of her singing it and it’ll show some promise.

artc0cx Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 I'm at work listening to the album for the first time. Jaded is amazing and river is a gay anthem
Raphy23 Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Is she going to tour this album? I really want to see her but my boyfriend keeps saying "she doesn't have enough songs, and this new album is flopping so she won't".

SimpleKindofLife Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 There’s no way she’s not doing an arena tour in North America and Europe. The demand is there

justin464 Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Really wish there was a Zane Lowe interview. I know some people dislike his interviews but I love them. I can see them giving up early on River bc Jaded is begging to smash. And as much as I love River, the GP seems to not be here for it. So Jaded deserves to be song of the summer. Violet Chemistry (remix) should be the Fall single in Sept/October. Also there better be a tour announcement soon, I need to see this album live.

Literally came here to say the same thing and you just posted it She's so likeable in her interviews I hope she has some coming, maybe they are holding off with promo to help the album have more longevity
