So I just finished listening to the whole album, taking notes, doing a write up for each song individually, and here are a few of my takeaways from this album as a whole.
First I want to address that I went into this album thinking it would just be fun silly vibes, remind me of my high school years, and generally that it would take me back but not mean much to my present self. I was incredibly wrong and very surprised how many of the songs spoke to me 15+ years later. They were empowering and vulnerable and I really really enjoyed diving deep into each song and realizing that themes like being brave and vulnerable and heartbreak and love really stand the test of time. I'm glad I went back here with an open heart because there were some real gems among these 15 songs. I am even more excited for the re-release to see what changes are made and what she adds to this collection.
