It was expecting it, the vinyls and CDs are at stores and out for delivery

nah, this fan has the album for a while now...

Well it will be out tomorrow anyway, it's not the end of the world. Heeeeeere we go

I like the final version of True Love - it's a good mix of the ballad/upbeat versions

there are some Heal album-style sounds

this is gonna be a monumental gag..

Love everything I've heard so far

Weapons is out and... idk you guys

Weapons - another smash hit

Ok i think my biggest issue with this album is that she really is not enunciating which makes it hard to sink into the song

Melt is a BOP!!!!!

Where is that?

all tracks except Lose That Light have hit the internet atm but surely it will be there too

Well it's obvious the leaks originated at Loreen's publisher then because that's the only one that hasn't been registered with her as a writer

I've flown to New Zealand to have a listen through, I deserve it, and here are my first thoughts:

Where Do We Go From Here: Absolutely gorgeous, love that it was the song from tour. The "**** its" will have to grow on me but otherwise, it's stunning!

Feels Like Heaven: As previously stated, good song but needs just one more element in the second half but I like it. Odd to be the lead single to be honest

Weapons: What a HUGE surprise! I never would have expected this sound from her. I love the production and melodies however, I can not hear a single world. I need the lyrics. The mixing on that one is rough.

Is It Love: Honestly has become one of my favourites from her, I'm so glad she finally got to do her ATLAS vibes music video and it's a bop

Can't Pull Me Down: THIS IS THE ONE! Oh my god, the bass. Gives me 2014/5 vibes, I'm FLOORED

Melt: The lyrics, oh my. She was feeling some kind of way that day. THE PRODUCTION. Oh we're bopping.

Wildfire: Such a nice pace change at this point in the album, very NUDE EP. I love it!

Coming Close: Another hour in the studio from becoming her best song to be honest however, the lack of the final chorus is growing on me. I love everything about it, what a song!

Set Me Free: Soooo Swedish/Melfest, another banger! Will go off on tour!

Tattoo: Do I really need to say anything?

Lose That Light: I had no idea what to expect with this one, interesting that it's the only one without a writing credit from her. I was expecting R&B but this is lovely! It is nice to have another slower song on the album, I like it! The OUTRO wow! Also, confirms to me that Sentric has a leak problem.

Kiss The Sky: Wait I hear something... the blippy synths oh my god. I LOVE this one! By far one of the best arranged songs on the album, I'm OBSESSED! This will pop off on tour also.

True Love: HEAL Loreen in 2026, to be honest. I loooooove the balance of strings and electronic, they got it spot on. I also love how there's a hint of the Tattoo strings in there to bring it full circle, oh wow. The album ending on the lyric "Cause it's all for you", oh wow. I'm going to go cry now.

True Love is excellent, as expected. One of her best songs ever

for me Can't Pull Me Down is the worst one from the album. it doesnt match.

It always blows my mind how some artists can literally release some of their best and worst songs on the same album.

Can't wait til midnight for the AOTY to be released

Her weakest album by far.

Heal and RIDE felt and sounded like strong, cohesive records where as this is just a collection of songs put together to finally get a post-Tattoo album out there.

Some of these songs on here are so painfully generic (FLH, Set Me Free, Kiss The Sky, Can't Pull Me Down, True Love, Melt) that they could have been recorded by anybody.

At least we've finally got another album from Loreen after nearly ten years, but I would have really been interested to hear ATLAS or whatever full project she had in that vein because this album isn't really it.

I'm so glad she released an album, not to sure how I feel about it tho ... I really like some of the songs, but overall I don't find the album cohesive at all. I don't understand the direction, you can tell she's been in the studio for 3 years and she mixed all the tracks she had. I really love Melt, Coming Close, Wildfire, but the rest didn't blow my mind on my first listen (and I don't understand the hype for True Love, this is so generic. Like, it's good, but she can do so much better). Songs/demos like Ego or Hoppar Du SÃ¥ Hoppar Jag that leaked last year are so much better. And let's face it, the inclusion of Tattoo and Is It Love (even tho I LOVE them, so important to me) isn't a good idea. Very good for streaming numbers, but they've been released for so long, we've overheard them atp.

That said, I'm happy she got to release her 3rd album, this is a major step in her career and I'll keep supporting her til my last breath. Maybe I was expecting too much :/

Haha I like how we both posted similar feelings at the same time !

maybe a bit disappointed since all the good songs have been released already and most of the album tracks were a bit mid. I had to add the 3 already released tracks to it to lift its overall score. the dubstep/trap influence on some tracks is not my cup of tea nor the two ballads. Set Me Free and Coming Close are career highlights for me from the new tracks, I love them so much.

I like the music, but I can barely understand the lyrics. Weapons and Melt are my highlights from the new songs
