    Billie and Finneas’ chemistry shows perfectly here. The whole aesthetic, accompanied by Billie’s somber, soft but strong vocals and Finneas’ dark ambience, works perfectly. I love the strong and saturated 808s and basses in “Xanny,” which is a standout from the record in my opinion as it shifts and it’s compelling and interesting, just like the album itself. I like how every song follows the aesthetic of the album while being different and having its own identity. I don’t think the album has a skippable song, as even in the slowest ones, Billie’s emotional vocals make them worth listening to like in the track “listen before I go”. I think they truly worked from the “bad guy” persona and built from there an even more complex character towards Billie. This project stands out for being very different from other pop albums and for being very well-ambiented.And off course Billie is a really great singer.

    A debut that rewired pop's volume knob: whispered vocals over Finneas's sub-bass and foley-level detail, with horror-movie imagery played half for laughs. "bad guy" became inescapable, but "when the party's over" and "bury a friend" show the range — intimacy and menace from the same bedroom. Generational, and it knew it.
