I have been following Alina?s music since she released her first EP with the phenomenal Dutch producer Galimatias. Five years later we finally get her debut album after a fairly boring second EP in 2018. Have I wowed away by this?no not really. Is this a direction I am glad to see her going in?no?kinda?ehh. First off, this record is bloated to hell. If she trimmed out much of the middle this would have been much better because there are some seriously stunning tracks here. Second, the features, for the most part, seem like a tack on at the last minute. The only exception is the Smino feature. In general, I don?t despise this because she brings that airy and chill sounds that I loved from her 2015 release, but this is so over-bloated.
