not to second guess anyone's taste but i could see this being alfred's album of the year

This album really hit me hard yesterday. The second half in particular. It's definitely on the same level as Nothing's Real for me now.

Press play on #forevher now and I'll tell you some stories about it as we go. Any questions just throw them my way and I'll try to answer some of those too. Big Love. 💙https://t.co/fTqu3MfZ7a pic.twitter.com/57511ug6EV

Epic thread

That's a great thread. Learning that it's Peter Gordon playing sax on BKLYNLDN makes me love it even more.

I haven't quite yet bonded with the album the way you lot have, but I'm getting there. "skyline, be mine" reminds me of a different kind of 90s style, the big spacey album closer like "Galaxy of Emptiness".

enjoying the way "the stage" basically turns into a tame impala song in its second half

i cant stop listening to tommy its just beautiful

What a surprise that this album feels like part of a broader pattern embracing albums from Meerna and Emily King: sonically engrossing soft rock / r&b hybridism.

“Tommy” and the closer in particular are fantastic.

Yeah, Skyline, Be Mine is great and works so well at the end of the album. With that and White Light closing Nothing's Real, she really knows how to nail those last songs.

I really got into the first album about a year ago. Didn't think I'd like this one so much from the singles. But damn what a gorgeous album, all of it.

Funny what kp said about the last songs. "White Light" ended the first album proper, but then "the Space Tapes" is tacked on. I kept thinking she was going to drop the "(game) over" sample (from "Nothing's Real") into "skyline be mine" like in the space tape that ends the first album...'s streaming version. It's got that same vibe, which is about the only time the two records sound anything alike.

prob what jeff w posted upthread

Wasn’t sure how I would feel about the neo-soul turn, but this album is great!The allmusic review called it “triumphantly romantic” and I fully agree.

Pristine, wonderful album.

Any good remixes yet?
