I was super excited for the OZGO / Ariel / Monsters & Strangerz tracks and they're nowhere to be seen, when she went live she said she would only play self produced outtakes as she didn't know if the producers of any other sings she made would be mad, wouldn't be surprised if the label blocked their release Yeah, she had co-writes with Emily Warren too if I'm not mistaken.
swiftsummer13 Posted July 13 Posted July 13 She isn't charting any songs on UK Spotify. She deserves so much better.
FireFade Posted July 14 Posted July 14 the first half of the album is definitely my favorite, that Vertigo - Miss Me Too - Into The Walls - 19th Hour - Astronaut - Anything run of songs is heavenly, a great piece of pop music. 1
ThehushSound Posted July 15 Posted July 15 The EPs had me a little nervous about this so I hadn't really sat down and listened to this until last night. It's a really solid piece of work I'm probably gonna buy the vinyl. 1
ahauntingnearu Posted July 15 Posted July 15 Tears For Fun Anything Vertigo Miss Me Too Stunners. What a top 4 2
sweetkiss Posted July 15 Posted July 15 was listening to this a lot before saying something, i love griff dearly ever since black hole which is still my favorite song by her im not into cover and album name, i think shes a beautiful woman with a lot of creative ideas but this one is not standing out. album has a lot of good songs and a lot of below mid ones, (pretending i didnt hear singles before) example anything is masterpiece and then you have astronaut that i couldnt even finish. 19th hour is boring, and then again tears for fun is incredible so overall album seems not on the same vibe lol... was killing the vibe and i gave it a chance to grow on me but only song that grew on me was so fast where did you go is horrible i will still stan her cause shes a beauty that when she has a hit its a hit, but with such basic voice she cant opt for basic production. im scared she gonna fade way if she doesnt do something different.

Is the "basic voice" in the album with us? Def agree with your last point tho. If we couldn't get an album during her peak, we're NEVER getting G2 as she's mega-flopping. I hate to say it but I'm sure she'll be dropped in the near future

I hate to say it but I'm sure she'll be dropped in the near future i love her voice, but i understand why people call her h&m fit rooms music. she doesnt have unique tone. its kinda like female alec benjamin, groundbreaking songwriting and charm but doesnt stand out. hopefully cult following will keep her in the music. 1
TayDuaStan Posted July 15 Posted July 15 Not her previewing a scrap titled "Last Nights Mascara" which honestly sounds better than 70% of the album… 1
Scandalous Posted July 15 Posted July 15 (edited) she reminds me of Sigrid, so much hype around her debut and then just took wayyyyy too long to finally release an album. i can see her having a similar career. album is solid from what i've heard so far, if a bit hit and miss. gonna listen to the full thing later Edited July 15 by Scandalous 1

normanikordeix Posted July 16 Posted July 16 Ill use 4 songs from this - 19th hour, miss me too, anything, and tears for fun.
BoDaToe Posted July 16 Posted July 16 Solid debut. Better than Tortuous Poets Department. Too bad she doesn't get more recognition. Spoiler Nothing on the album is better than Black Hole tho
Alex Posted July 16 Posted July 16 Miss Me Too is still her best song, a shame nothing on the album came close to it.
SimpleKindofLife Posted July 16 Posted July 16 I really loved her last EP but this album is a drag to get through, the lyrics are so melodramatic and depressing and maybe it just wasn't a good idea to release this during the summer when people actually wanna have fun. She doesn't really do much with her voice in terms of adding quirks or personality so it all blends into one long crying session 1
ahauntingnearu Posted July 16 Posted July 16 I don't get what people are saying about her vocals. She's an incredibly emotive vocalist and I love how every song of hers is STACKED with vocal layers 1 2

swiftsummer13 Posted July 16 Posted July 16 On track to debut at #3 on the UK Albums Chart, behind Eminem and Travis. 3
glitch Posted July 16 Posted July 16 I enjoyed this. Kinda glad she released the EPs first because there's lots of songs I didn't vibe with at all when they were initially released, but now hearing them again in the album context they've had time to grow on me (19th hour and astronaut in particular). Anything is definitely the standout track
Twilish Posted July 16 Posted July 16 I honestly think tears for fun and vertigo are the top 2 here but miss me too and hiding alone are great as well. I just don't see this type of music really smashing right now.
Kintsugi Posted July 16 Posted July 16 this type of music is most definitely marketable when you have people like Gracie Abrams and Taylor smashing, she's just really bad at promoting and her label hasn't realized that she will never break out in the UK since unless you're a chav queen or a Becky Hill they simply won't check for you, they should focus on pushing her in the US
Joster Posted July 16 Posted July 16 Just discovered this girl. Loving everything so far! She deserves better

In comparison to other UK based female artists, she's doing just fine. I mean, Charli XCX only reached the top 10 with her fifth album, Crash, Rita Ora's last album only reached #6, Dua's debut peaked at #3. Edited July 17 by TayDuaStan
