"Girl" and "Common" aren't bangers, but I like them both. I'm excited for this album.

She collaborated with Brothers Osborne. My jaw fell on the floor when I saw that. I can't wait to hear that!!!

Half of this album is made up of love songs. Really good ones. "Gold Love" is incredibly catchy. I've been playing that on repeat.

2/3 with me (I’m waiting for Common to grow on me).

2/3 with me (I’m waiting for Common to grow on me). Me too...but 'Girl' is the one I don't like. 'The Bones' is the best so far.

My favorite track so far! The bridge on out just gives me chills with her vocals.

She sounds great on "The Bones." Reminds me of a Shawn Mendes song. Liking everything we've heard so far!

I love The Bones. Maren sounds bloody fantastic on all of the songs released so far and I'm even more hyped for the album now. Two more weeks!

A song called "Simplify" was originally going to be included on the album but I haven't heard mention of it anywhere. I'm hoping it will be a bonus track somewhere. It's a really good song.
My Top 6 for the new album are:
(1) A Song For Everything - an instant classic (2) Gold Love - catchy in the vein of 80's Mercedes, fun sing-along (3) The Bones - nice to see all the positive reviews from everyone else (4) Good Woman - love song ballad, all about giving and making sacrifices for the one you love (5) Hell and Back - should do well on country radio if its released as a single, pretty song (6) All My Favorite People - very fun with a good vibe

A week to release date. I kinda expected more promo leading up to it, but maybe a lot of things will happen this week?

A week to release date. I kinda expected more promo leading up to it, but maybe a lot of things will happen this week? This whole release has felt kinda rushed, so maybe her team didn't have time to line-up a lot of promo for the album. I LOVE that we are getting the album next week, but I am a little worried with how rushed this has felt. Obviously the album has been pretty much ready to go for awhile, so that's a bit surprising to me. I'm just hoping that doesn't hurt her success with this era. "Girl" is off to a really good start though, so I'm still hopeful!

The early release is certainly a risk, but there's enough goodwill towards her in country music that she should be fine. It seems comparable to Brett Young who sold 50k albums before his song even reached Top 10.

Hero opened with 45k SPS so I’m confident she will match that at the least.

I love this on first listen. The prominence of the guitars? Amazing. The Brothers Osborne collaboration? Excellent as expected. Maren's vocals? Outstanding. The album is definitely veering away from country but there are a couple of country songs on here towards the end of the album.
Right now, I think Flavor is my favorite followed closely by All My Favorite People but I'm sure this is bound to change.
I can't wait to hear these new songs live in two months.

😍 @ “To Hell & Back” and “Good Woman”
Upon first listen, I really love that she found a way to recreate some of the best things about her debut without actually copying it, or making a Part 2. I’m enjoying this record. It finds an excellent way of universalizing sexiness. I appreciate that she tackled love in such a young & fruitful way. “The Bones” remains one of my top faves.

“Make Out With Me” killed me and brought me back to life. The production and soulful vocals nearly had me in tears. I’m in awe of Maren’s talent.

This is a good album. "Gold Love" and "RSVP" are standout tracks. "Shade" also nice.

Not to be cliche, but Girl is the weakest song on the album. A really solid and enjoyable album.
Although Dolly Parton deserves a writing credit on All My Favourite People.

This is another solid effort, but I give the edge to HERO, though that album would have been hard to top.
I'm not getting the love for 'A Song For Everything' quite yet, but I do agree its radio-ready.
My love has gone to 'RSVP', 'Flavor', 'Feels' and 'Gold Love' so far.
The only two I am not really feeling at all are 'Girl' and 'Great Ones'. Everything else is at least OK/good.
Solid effort after my first run through.

I’d like to go on record and state that this is, indeed, a COUNTRY ALBUM. It is the same country-pop-R&B line she toed on Hero. She won’t be abandoning the format anytime soon. Stanning for Maren just as hard as I did when she came onto the scene. ❤️

Heard the collab with Brothers Osborne on The Highway this morning, definitely would love to see that as a single at some point.

After 3 listens, here's my rank. The middle to end of the album are all pretty close together though and I'll need some closer listens to see if anything else sticks out to make me like any of them more than the others. Pretty sure my top 5 is solid though and "Common" is by far the weakest song on the album. Maren scared me about liking this album with THAT being the 2nd released track... I hope The Highwomen music is better than that song.
