Love that writeup, willem. This really is the best thing she's ever released. I wish it were getting more attention. The production is stunning and the melodies are achingly gorgeous. I wanna bop my head to 'Miracle Mile' forever.

My favorite track right now is Stay Tomorrow. I'm getting some mid-eighties French pop vibe from it. Maybe Mylene Farmer? I dunno.

Yes, really feeling your write-up Willem, nice that it coincided with that particular area of NL :) Will try and save it for a similar experience in the near future.

Yeah, this is very nice. Love the nocturnal mood, definite IDIB vibes.

was disappointed/bored with this initially but it's really grown on me - beautiful, perfect music for cold, rainy evenings.
"Mermaid Dreams" is incredible.

I had the same experience. On my first few plays not much really stood out, but I love it now. I'm really drawn to the dark mood of the whole thing and I think it's easily her best work lyrically. A lot of it is really devastating me right now.

this is really cheesy and I think the spoken-word bit takes it so far that it becomes endearingly naff rather than just a bit embarassing.
The 5 track EP will feature this collaboration with Jake Shears, a new track with old production flame Richard X, and covers of Jesus & Mary Chain’s ‘Just Like Honey’ and Patrick Swayze’s ‘She’s Like the Wind
this will be interesting

Sounds exactly like you'd expect.

This one (with Richard X) is my favorite from the new EP:
