Recent reviews
Album of the year. The writing and production on this album is unmatched and won’t ever be replicated.
Wooooow, it’s a masterpiece from start to the end !!!!!!
It really tells a story and is brilliantly put together, I loved it. It’s not just an album, it’s a proper story, poetry packed with musical references. It’s just perfect, and wow, all I can say is well done for the work 🤍
The production is amazing, the vocals are magnificent, she has an incredible voice and she remains, sadly, a far too underrated artist.
I hope people take the time to listen to the album because it deserves so much attention!
