I honestly don?t quite see the hype with an artist like Danielle Balbuena. It?s rehashed and bland versions of alternative RnB over art pop and alt-pop esthetics. This album to me is trying too hard to be experimental and misses the mark on what experimental means in RnB today. If this was 2012, I would maybe understand it, but the current landscape of experimental and artists of RnB artists is well beyond this, so this album comes off sounding extremely dated. Plus, it doesn?t help that nothing on the album comes together all that well and how stagnant everything feels.
