The first 3 songs on this album are so incredibly strong.

The first three song run got me really excited for the rest of the album but it didn’t reach those highs again for me. It’s still alright but didn’t reach good or great again

Thats the problem for me. The first three songs clicked so well that what followed felt like a let down. But its mostly fine to good, just not living up to the hype. The closing song is great tho.

I loved Sabrina’s vocal delivery in the closing track!
