Supervillain Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 6 minutes ago, Laura Palmer said: ORA and Phoenix were just a mush-mash of what was hot at the time with added filler. This sounds more cohesive and focused as a body of work Phoenix does have fillers but it also has some absolute pop gold like Anywhere, Let You Love Me, New Look, First TIme High, Only Want You, For You, Hell of a Life, Cashmere which are all better than anything on this album... they're incomparable really.

Better Mistakes Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Finishing my second listen. It’s a nice easy listening, colour by pop album in the same lane as Poster Girl, Therapy, About Last Night etc. Nothing more, nothing less. excited to meet her at her signing Sunday!

Lady Claire Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 My main issue is with the production that sounds way too cheap somehow, almost demo-ish. The lyrics are nice, the melodies are good, her vocals are great but then the production is so weak and then everything falls flat. Unfeel It for example would be a major banger with improved, better production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much have the same issue and it’s unfortunately what I expected when I saw she was mainly doing the album with Oak Felder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supervillain Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 This is what she said about this album, very interesting Sounds like they made it sound demo-ish on purpose. “I’d like to think Phoenix was a much more polished record, and while this is way more unpolished - I’m never not going to make pop songs - but this was a more natural, imperfect approach which is what I always wanted. That’s what you do when you’re a songwriter and you’re aiming to write more honourable records: they will inevitably become a bit less hooky and anthemic, and I’m okay with that,” she explains.

reymiu Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 She should push the title song "You & I" It might not succeed chart-wise but it will attract more listeners to the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Claire Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 She def picked the right singles for it imo YOLM is your average Rita song, Praising You is the best song on the album and DTT is the most generic one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
