She performed Pierre on Coachella. Not good quality but from what you can hear it's bound to bring us another great song for the album. Can't wait to hear the studio version.

"Octahate" is still the best thing ever. Her live performances are decent, but there are some rough moments and her inexperience is obvious. I'm glad she seems to be performing a lot, it's probably better for her to gain experience and work on her live act before she gets a hit. Hoping to see her at Osheaga in Montreal this summer.

She's already grown leaps and bounds from when I saw her at CMJ in October to SXSW in March. She has a lot more confidence and quirk in her performance, even if the vocal is imperfect.

I'm so obsessed with OctaHate. All of her songs, really, but I can't wait to be blasting the song with the windows down all summer.

Music Video for The Fool. Finally a music video that's actually good and makes sense with the song. One of the best music videos i've seen in a very, very long time and it made me like the song even more.

For those who are intrigued the album has leaked and can be found somewhere (I haven't found it). I did however find two separate tracks Pierre & Runaway, those are easy to find.

This album is so FUCKING good! The last debut album which hit me this hard was Lorde's "Pure Heroine." Lyrics + production are A+. Every track has a purpose/is worth listening to.

Wow the album is incredible. It's definitely one of the best albums I've heard in a very long time it's exactly the type of music I love. The lyrics, production, vocals everything is brilliant. It's not often that I love every track on an album and don't feel like skipping anything at all. It's extremely cohesive and you can't say that about a lot of albums. She definitely restrains her vocals a bit because it's stronger live but I feel that was a good move, she doesn't always have to live up to hitting a specific note live that way.
Here is my ranking from highest to lowest so far after first listen. Note that the songs at the bottom are still amazing.
1. New Constellations
2. Sail On
3. Free
4. Octahate
5. Pierre
6. Promises
7. The Fool
8. Stay Low
9. Here Is Home
10. Traveling Song
11. Runaway

Listened to the album now several times and I really feel Free should be a single. I can totally hear it on the radio and everyone singing along like crazy. It's so uplifting and brings great vibes, perfect for the summer.

I am in tears at "Sail On" right now. One of the best written songs I've ever heard.

Ryn is not only a talented singer but songwriter as well so props to her on that. Check out the live version her vocals are even more incredible and insane. Also guys here is a full live stream of her set on Bonnaroo she did every song except Sail On live. She was a mess vocally except on Traveling Song, New Constellations and Octahate but she brought it with the energy instead. |

After a couple listens, the album is fantastic. My least favorites are "Runaway," "Here Is Home" and "Traveling Song" but I definitely don't dislike them. I'd probably rank the album like this at the moment:
1. The Fool
2. OctaHate
3. Pierre
4. Sail On
5. New Constellations
6. Stay Low
7. Promises
8. Free
9. Runaway
10. Here Is Home
11. Traveling Song
1-6 are all incredibly close.

Free is probably my favorite along with Pierre.
I actually love the four final songs on the album how they make the album come full circle.

"New Constellations" is probably my favorite song released this year so far. The bridge gives me chills every time.

After marinating for a few months this is one of my favorite albums of the year. My Top 3 from the album are:
Pierre - The third verse after the hook is nothing less than perfect.
And I fell for a vagabond, a month at tops
Lied and said his bike was in the "motor shop"
Drove my car once and made the tire pop
Still we had some fun, till I came to
Cause I wouldn't be with you
It just rolls in so perfectly with the added guitar licks. Amazing.
New Constellations - Everything about this song is just haunting and beautiful. Cashmere Cat and Benny Blanco need to become the new Max Martin and Ali Payami because they are a match made in heaven.
So keep callin' me crazy cause I never learned
You should stop loving fire because you got burned
Now it feels like I'm living some sick déjà vu
Like the answers were there when I stared into you
The layering on the outro is just breathtaking with the You Can Run! clashing with the production.
Sail On - This is all just poetry! PURE POETRY!
And now you're spewing out those lonely lies
You say you've changed it all around
But you'll be gone again when the winds blow, oh sailor
Another state to claim with your flag upon the ground
Just go dammit! JUST GO!
Promises, Stay Low, The Fool, OctaHate are also some of my absolute favorites.
