Listened to it for the first time today. A pretty solid record if you ask me, I wonder why the album wasn't bigger back then

'Breathe' is that song!

Think about it when you touch me there

Close my eyes here we are

Dancing in the dark

Tell me baby is it wrong

To let my hands do what they want

Late at night I pretend that Iiiiiiiiiiii

Shadows

an extremely good album , I listen to it all

Lightspeed and Breathe >>>>

I loved it when it came out and revisit it every now and then, great debut.

So glad this icon blessed us with this banger

A time capsule to the early 10s. Love Dancing Shoes

"Bass Down Low" and "In The Dark" were BANGERS. The issue was that many of the tracks (especially "Lightspeed") sounded like cheaper versions of Kesha's Animal. It was also the era of hook girls who got a featured hit single but no chance to release their major label albums (Wynter Gordon, Sabi, Auburn, Leighton Meester, Neon Hitch)... so the industry was very saturated. Her maternity hiatus happened at the worst time for her career: making it to album #2.

One more thing: I definitely think there was an opportunity for a deluxe edition / re-release with new producers to tide people over and push sales when she went on her maternity hiatus.

"Kiss It' might've made a good re-release single instead of one to start a new campaign. It was her "Sleazy," but she needed a "We Are Who We R" first. Maybe something like this (with new DEV verses, of course)?

This is not my proudest moment.... but for the first few months of her career I thought Halsey ("Closer" / 'New Americana') was Dev coming back after the pregnancy deciding to get rid of the autotune.

She kinda had the sing-talk formula down, tugged on Kesha's wig a bit. Pregnancy aside I think her music post Cataracs was missing the spark, Kiss It is literally flavorless and speaking of Cataracs their music after DEV departure sucked too that's why both of them flopped after going separte ways
