She's had a very interesting career arc. I love her debut, Marry Me, but I'm in the minority with my feeling that it's the best of the first 3 albums. Her fourth, S/T, has now probably slightly surpassed it as my favorite to date. With both Actor and Strange Mercy there are several tracks I absolutely love, but also several that I don't care for. There's almost nothing I don't enjoy on Marry Me and S/T. Either way it's impossible not to appreciate the growth of her sound to this point. Excited to hear Masseduction in a few weeks.

Favorite tracks: Cruel, Cheerleader, Year Of The Tiger, Chloe In The Afternoon.

This is probably her best track-for-track, but I still prefer Actor by a mile. Also, "Cruel" is easily top 20 or 10 best songs of the decade.

Track picks
2. Cruel
3. Cheerleader
4. Surgeon
8. Champagne Year
