Phoebe Bridgers

Haunting vocals, will come back to this one at some point. Thanks for the recommendation, Devin!

It’s brilliant. She is a gift. The product is stunning. The music is melodic and smooth. I do not think I adore it as much as most do but I think it’s only because I’m not as emotionally smart as most. Lyrically I’m just not that deep to fully grasp her balance without someone telling me it’s brilliant and I don’t think that’s a fair way to judge or rate something. I want to feel it and get it at my level.

Sometimes when writing a review I have an urge to share a pun that comes into my head and, as all intrusive thoughts, begs to be released into the wild. But here, here I just have no words. How do you comment somebody's complex, rich and painful experience packed into a 52-minute record and turned into something so... Magical seems a bit of a wrong way to put it, but nothing else describes the power that unleashes the moment you press play. The ability to take your own grief, face it head on and turn it into something as beautiful as this record is exceptional. I am very happy I became Phoebe's fan years ago and I am happy she just keeps proving to me she is one of very very best to do it. Thank you for sharing this with us, I am truly honoured to be trusted with carrying this record forward.
