Agree with the comments below. 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert' was an all-singing, all-dancing, bells and whistles, big production masterpiece. This album is stripped down and tighter but may be even better. More likely to listen to this when I'm peeling carrots in the back garden.
1.Angel 77
2.Gorilla 85
3.Silhouette 89
4.No Merci 74
5.X 84
6.Heart On Fire 89
7.Broken 88
8.Sideways 69
9.Who Even Cares 81
10.Control 75 [First added to this chart: 01/06/2023]
