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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Life Posted February 19, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP2K Posted February 20, 2023 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
