Best of 2024
The instrumentation and rather innovative production on this album took me by surprise. It actually sent chills down my spine hearing those instrumental outros or breaks. I loved her voice, her vulnerability and her naissance of sapphic anthems. Specifically, I would like to highlight the song L'amour de ma vie which had such a flawless transition into a disco-esque production which kept going for the rest of the album.
With this album, she has stayed true to her roots of hiphop-inspired beats/production while venturing into new realms. Chihiro is her best song to date. The synths are absolutely epic. Need them tattooed on my soul. And the disco influence already starts shining on this song.
”Sometimes the music is so fucking good, you get high without the drugs” best describes this album as a religious experience. I love the synths mixed with the disco beats in Chihiro soooo much. The 80s JPop vibes from Chihiro extend to Bird of a Feather. The latter is where those elements of that time and place truly manifest. Best album I’ve heard this year so far - front to back.
This is the best album reimplementing retro stuff. The bass in conjunction with an e-guitar is ingeniously orchestrated. The variation between the electronic disco, hiphop or some r&b-esque beats is just a masterpiece. Leave it upto FINNEAS to produce perfections. As if all this wasn’t enough, there is one melody that keeps appearing on the album in form of snippets until it gets its time to shine on the closer.
Absolutely gagged by this album, it seriously has me by the balls. She manifested what Hostage was all about lol.
