again is really great. Yeah it's not
that extraordinary in musical terms to showcase her creativity, but it's a great, diverse listen nevertheless. I really like the way she approached the lyrics of the songs on this album, like the sandcastle metaphor carrying through Wake me up, the wording in Sweet scar and the repetition in Ivy.
Wake me up has those aggressive vocals and arrangement which make some of her best songs
That's what I call pop-rock gone right. The meaning of this song speaks to me, too.
Sweet scar is really a throwback to the early 2000s. The arrangement seems so simple but it's actually very ear catching and all the layers really compliment each other. I love her vocals here also. It's definitely become one of my fav ballads from her.
Snowy kiss.... has fab basslines lol
And out of all her psychedelic guitar solos this one ranks pretty high, I like it.
I'm afraid though that I'll grow sick of the choruses soon if I listen to this a lot.
The composition of Ivy makes me think of mid-tempo songs from some decades back. It's hard to say why I like this song a lot while I didn't enjoy LOVE's tracks, when the difference is so hard to pinpoint. Maybe it's because it doesn't sound like trying too hard to stand out, so it does lol.
