Have you ever wondered what would happen if Billie Eilish dropped the electropop influences, took the artistic vision of Fiona Apple but more on a Haley Williams type scale while also taking chamber influences from Radiohead and Tindersticks. Well in a dodie is that, but even more. With the intro cut ?Air So Sweet? you're greeted with a minimal ambient pop intro like Ichiko Aoba. From there ?Hate Myself? is a folk pop ragger that the likes of Taylor Swift fans will be into but with chamber influences. However, from there we settle into what this record is really like. ?I Kissed Someone?, ?Cool Girl?, ?Rainbow?, ?Four Tequilas Down? and ?Sorry? are all contemporary folk with minimal instrumentation where here lyrics and artistic direction really take shape. It doesn?t stop there however we have even more melodic and minimal piano tracks on the back end. So overall this is a chilling and impressive first record for what could be a magnificent and explosive career. My biggest complaint is the passing can be a bit wonky at points and the closer could be more potent.
