Maybe I need to listen more but as an A-M staaaaan I was not impressed with the stuff I hadn't heard. Very midtempo (I love some of her mid so that's not necessarily awful) but uninspiring.

I think the only potential singles for me are Cry or Trigger. Honestly though, I'd go back to Then and give that a push, that's the real jewel in the crown here.

 

I can live with the writing on 2002 and it is somewhat a bop but Perfect cringes me out. I've seen a lot of people tweeting her saying how important the song is, so I fear they may try to release that.

'Trigger' is possibly the best thing she's put out.

For Me 'Can I Get Your Number' is the best non-single track by a mile.

‘trigger is fun but it’s v non-descript cookiecutter throwaway no identity kind of track

 

 

i like anne-marie a fair bit (‘ciao’ was a banger) but this record is a textbook example of record politics...3,000 different producers and writers, an overlong record which is well overdue

 

theres no statement of intent, identity or coherency

 

from ‘ciao’ to bandwagon marshmello to shite ed sheeran co-write

 

it’s various forms of shite

For Me 'Can I Get Your Number' is the best non-single track by a mile.

Yes.

 

There's plenty to use here. It's not clever or original and the lyrics are universally shit, but the bops are very much present. Cry and Number are doing it for me, and Ciao Adios really knocks.

Having just listened for the first time, there’s a lot of good stuff on the album but I just CAN’T get behind her as an artist as with songs like ‘2002’ and ‘Perfect’ it all feels so Ed Sheeran style-insincerity and it’s very generic....tbh it’s packed with bops so 💁🏾‍♀️
