Garbaj Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 This is absolutely a masterpiece, I HATE that it's so short, because it's one of those releases that makes you want MORE. "White Glove" is INCREDIBLE, and I could def see the chorus going viral on TikTok, she deserves to be on the tier of "MPG" status. Congrats Dove; on this MASTERPIECE of an album. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbaj Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Watching her interview on the Jennifer Hudson Show; hearing her talk about her dad is so heartbreaking, soo happy she is finally facing her fears and is comfortable talking about the things/people that have hurt her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KasioKas Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 This is... not good :( It's Madison Beer coded but she's made it her own, it's just not as good. White Glove just didn't stick the landing. Still and God's Game are good though, + Boyfriend ofc Fragile is cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scandalous Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 it’s cute enough but i’m so over her doing this Billie/Melanie type sound. she started out with so much potential to give us BANGERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that because it makes me feel really connected to the more animal side of it. It makes me feel power behind it especially because my vocals are so soft sometimes. I can sound sensitive and vulnerable and I wanted to make sure there was some power behind some of the lyrics. I don’t know how to explain this but I’m a little freaky and weird and I’ve always been attracted to darker and more menacing sounds and it makes the more fragile tracks more full. In the outro of “White Glove”, when it’s super crazy low, it’s just menacing and fun. As a kid, when I used to go to school, I would dress up as “your worst nightmare” on a random day. It’s very fun to me and I love everything villainess. It feels very powerful. It’s definitely one of my favorite devices in the studio.” it’s kind of what makes the song the song in its own ways; likewise for the other tracks.

Outside of Sand (which I’ve loved since release) and God’s Game, this is a weird first listen Production wise it gives a mix of Billie, Tones and I, and Halsey all in one which ironically could be interesting but her lyrics and voice have no identity whatsoever. Never liked the old singles either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If U Seek Amy Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I have issues but when I ignore the cohesive actual album/EP bit I actually like most songs. She has put out quite a few I like now, though taken some down too which I hate but can deal with. Overall sure, it lacks identity and is a bit all over the place. But if you don’t mind it there are quite a few decent to good songs on it. She’s still a new artist finding herself and her identity and I kind of expect that. I really didn’t think she was gonna come out of the gate with this mastered brand and self image musically and personally. But my hope is while getting some songs to enjoy for fans it helps her figure it out more and keep growing until she nails it down. I am excited what more is to come from her and I love her voice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The collaboration that I didn't know we needed. Dove's dark pop with Madison alien retro aesthetic palette would be quite the combo Dove would also sound great on a duet/featuring with Olivia Rodrigo, Sofia Carpenter, Demi Lovato, Sofia Carson, Miley Cyrus, Tate McRae, Gracie Abrams, Charlotte Lawrence, Bebe Rexha, Julia Michaels, Bea Miller, Maggie Lindemann and Olivia O'Brien 17 hours ago, Scandalous said: it’s cute enough but i’m so over her doing this Billie/Melanie type sound. she started out with so much potential to give us BANGERS This isn't like Melanie Martinez. And Billie didn't invest whisper singing, get real. Y'all just feel like anything that isn't an uptempo is not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
