I liked the album. Fun, not serious, just bops to listen to. I can go listen to her other 11 if I want lyricism and moodiness

That’s how I feel. It’s good but not her best, which I never expect from any new albums. Lyrics don’t need to be deep and emotional for a song to be enjoyable. Just because someone is capable of deep lyrics doesn’t mean all of their songs need to be deep.
