I actually quite liked it even though it’s not really my style at all. It’s still an album that unfortunately doesn’t really grab me musically even though the lyrics are beautiful, the rhythm and production are well crafted and despite her rather distinctive, slightly jazzy voice it’s not an album that’s won me over
I’m quite happy though to have discovered Olivia through this album. She has this aura of a grande dame about her a bit like Raye and she’s definitely going to go far

ok TEA, she knows how to satisfy us people with the need of both pop anthems and depressed ballads
Not my cup of tea in terms of this genre, but this was unreal haven’t heard someone dislike Olivia dean and I now see why
