5/10

Well, I think I was wrong about Maya Hawke the first time I listened to her. I think that she a lot of interesting things to say at least. My main critic the first time I listened was that I didn't like her voice with like the Gracie Abrams whisper singing (but even more extreme), and honestly, I still don't like it. But it doesn't ruin the album for me now. I think that her songs have a lot of interesting concepts like Dark, Missing Out, and Big Idea. I wish it wasn't as stripped back and focused on her voice as it is now, but it doesn't fully tank the project. It just feels like someone's whispering in my ear which I don't fully mess with. It also makes every song run together and make them less distinct pieces that I can point to and talk about. I think my differences with this album also might just be with the fact that I don't really like alternative music like that. I always find that alternative music can't find it's point and doesn't keep me locked in. I would say that that's true for this album too. But I do like her lyrics a lot especially because she is always keeping it real and honest which is important to me in song writing.
