where_is_the_line Oct 23, 2021
this record is absolutely amazing in my eyes. i it so well as i was present throughout the album rollout. the melodic nature to these songs is so well executed.

Raindrops is credited to Ariana. It’s not her song. It’s a Four Seasons track, hence “an angel cried”, the original title written by Bob Gaudio & Nick Massi! Shame she didn’t cover the entire tune and only just a snipped.
HOSTBOI Aug 23, 2018
The more left-field songs are way better than the more generic songs on the album. Here's hoping her next album is just an entire Cashmere Cat collab.
CR272 Aug 20, 2018
6 out of 15 songs were good. as a stan i dont want to say its a bad record, but as a fan i have to. its just Pharrel's terrible production.
friihmshups Aug 17, 2018
7/10 ; It's such a good album, with some lil' flaws, but they're not that strong to make it terrible. To be honest, she should invest on songs like everytime & breathin for next singles, they have such potential.
