Hmmm I love "You're Not Missing Me" so Imma check this out.

She's released Sleeping With Roses II which she toured last summer
3 weeks ago her and Jeremy Zucker released a collab EP titled "brent" which consisted of 5 tracks (my favorite being "sometimes")
In my opinion that was a step back for her, her usual style fits her way better and just sounds so much better
Now on Thursday she's releasing a song with Kygo which I'm super hyped for
Imma guess she'll use more of her usual style on that one as hers and Kygos fit together perfectly
It'll be a very good song and a potential summer smash (at least in Europe)
I can see her finally getting some exposure!

Her 2 EPs did nothing for me...meanwhile "You're Not Missing Me" is still a great ass song.

She just announced her debut album "How To Be Human" is coming in January 2020 which will probably feature her latest singles "How To Be Human", "You Are Losing Me" and "Lucky"

I'm 3 songs in and uuh totally in love
Different from her EP stuff and definitely more than I expected after the singles tbh

[Normi]

This might be my favorite album since "thank u, next"
I was lukewarm on the pre-released tracks but they've all grown on me
It's an honest body of work, the lyrics feel so vulnerable and the production is amazing and unique (as expected)
I love the little things she uses in songs
It's an album where my favorites quickly change but I love so many songs on this album, her vocal performance is so great

The diversity is also impressive from bops like "What Would It Take" or "You Are Losing Me" over ballads like "I Was In Heaven" or "Crazier Things" to experimental songs like "nj" or "I Miss You"

DAMN, is this album amazing and I really hope it becomes a breaking point for her career, excited for the Billboard 200 placement
"Sad Tonight" is also shaping up very nicely , it's already Top 40 on Pop radio

[Normi]

Debuts at #23 on the Billboard 200

Honestly, wow. I hoped for a Top 100 debut but that is astonishing! Go girl!

This grew on me so much since release, it might be my favorite album since thank u, next
It's crazy to think she wrote/produced most tracks by herself
The lyrics feel so real as they're so honest and deep, some of my faves:
"I miss when you said that I was your best friend" (Strangers Again)
"I dreamt you loved me still, why did it feel so real?" (I Was In Heaven)
"I wanna tell you I'm sorry for the mistakes I've made, that I forgive you for the part that you played" (nj)
"You weren't losing me when I already lost you" (You are losing me)
"It amazes me you move on so easily from someone that you once called home" // "What if we're still meant to be? Crazier things have happened" (Crazier Things)

I feel her so much, she's so relatable but in such a different way
She helped me through so much already and I'm thankful for her
