Totally feel this way. I think it’s comparable to TMA in that way even though the two records are vastly different in intent and tone.

regulovalentin Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Now see me walkin away To the dance floor Oh it’s a sauna 💦 Here if you wanna I'm standing in the light It’s 2AM, yeah we made it Everybody faded So high, so high, so high And now I'm floating away Far and away
Pop Life Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) This album is so centered and free. The way she sings about turning away from those who oppress her toward her own people who appreciate her experiences on Holier is such a lightbulb moment. It adds so much more weight to the euphoria of the dance tracks and nuance to the sex jams. Even the hardest hitting songs have a quiet confidence to them that I really appreciate Edited February 19, 2023 by Pop Life

ariesgroove Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 find anoooooooooooooooooooother wayyyyyyy find anoooooooooooooooooooother wayyyyyyy
MP2K Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Aside from Happy Ending I was concerned because the other singles weren't really hitting but in context of the album, everything just works. I really love the build-ups of every track. Rankings: Sorbet Happy Ending Closure Missed Call Holier Bruises Let it Go Raven On the Run Enough for Love Contact Washed Away these are all going to switch after every listen though.

Contessa Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 PopMatters should stick to pop and leave our girl alone. Giving her a 60 as if they know anything about ambient-R&B, or ambient for that matter.

They don’t just focus on pop and they actually just say what they think instead of following the crowd. They’re WRONG about this album though

mokitsu Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 This is such an excellent album. Wasn't in the mood for the slower tracks when it came out but I'm obsessed now. Her vision and artistry is unmatched
