This is amazing. "7 Days", "Nintendo Game", and "Comfortable" are clear standouts for me.

#HOTTAKE: SO glad I invested in this girl. I knew my initial instincts were right and I have been quietly watching her develop as an artist, over the features and Scars To Your Beautiful growing on me. But now...I STAN. #s 1-6 are some of the best songs I have heard all year. The fact that Growing Pains is one of the weakest songs says SO much about the quality of the album. This is one of the best albums of the year and definitely by a female.
1. Trust My Lonely (my GOD, why wasn't this the first single?? I live for the chorus and the chanting. What a BOP!) 2. My Kind (f**k, this is relatable.) 3. Easier Said 4. All We Know 5. Wherever I Live 6. I Don't Want To 7. Girl Next Door 8. Not Today 9. Nintendo Game 10. Comfortable 11. Growing Pains 12. Out Of Love 13. A Little More
14. 7 Days 15. Growing Pains (Reprise)
P.S. The acoustic version of Growing Pains should have been on the album instead and released as a 3rd or 4th single to close out the era. It would probably be my #4 on the album.

There's just nothing stand out about her to make people want to come back to her. The aesthetic of this era is pretty meh too

^I didn't even know this was coming out. This era has really flown under the radar.

The album is boring as hell. Very vanilla. It almost feels like a regression from her debut album. I think she should do some collaborations over the next few months and release a new project next year.

Only way she remains commercially viable is moving on from this quickly. It's a cohesive effort, but there's nothing here that will get people talking.

I like the album but there was a natural effervescence to her debut that this album is lacking.

This is easily one of my favorite albums of this year. Not a single song I dislike.

I saw the video for Trust My Lonely and my eyes started leaking. I have decided I stan and really want this girl to win more than I want any other pop girl to win. Her talent is so organic and her style is so refreshing!

Initial projection has her debuting with 11-13k SPS (4-6k sales).
Know-It-All debuted at #9 with 36k SPS (22k sales).

UGHHHHHHH. That is a TRAGEDY but I am not surprised. I just thought she had more fans than that. C'mon, GP; stop supporting anonymous trash that could be sung by anybody and support REAL TALENT and SONGWRITING. Speaking of which, #BUYCAUTION #STREAMCAUTION

Going by the most recent chart, this range won't even land her in the top 50 (it was 13.5k). I do think she'll move up a bit though.

Speaking of which, #BUYCAUTION #STREAMCAUTION Not being shady but what made you think she had lots of faithful fans. I only ask this because I have heard a few people mention to me her music is ok but not good enough to buy.

Even though I’m not in love with the album (yet), I gave her another unit sold at Target today. I do want her to win and I applaud her for not rehashing Here or Stay just for the sake of spins and streams.

Tragic!
I'll give it a few spins this week. I love a few songs from her debut but find her voice a bit jarring (especially after "Stay" and "1-800" being hella overplayed).

Cute review. Still obsessed with this. Glad "Out of Love" is likely the next single. One of my favorites.

I think the biggest issue with her marketting as a pop star is the fact that she’s still trying the quirky/relatable teenager shtick. It’s so immensely transparent and she’s 22 — it’s time for her to become an adult and stop catering to the tumblr teenybopper crowd that doesn’t even seem to want her. And while I admire that she has her own distinct sound and style, it’s time to expand it. Imo she should look to Billie Eilish as inspiration, whose music and image isn’t too far off Alessia’s but is someone people actually seem to gravitate towards.
