Wow. Mixtapes, huh? Some of these tracks are really short. I mean, the first thing that really impressed me was “Poppy Flower” (though I thought she was singing “Puppy” not “Poppy”!) and I look and it's the fourth track, yet we seem only to have begun. Seventeen tracks, but somehow I don't think this is going to be anything near as long as the previous album. Well, that had twenty-four tracks, but you know what I mean. Lot of Prince circa 1999 in here I feel. And suddenly we're on track nine! This is flying along! “Upset stomach”, the aforementioned track nine, is another good one, with a really breathy, soft vocal and some nice piano. “Mistake” is another great little song, not even a minute and a half long, and “Up All Night” is just beautiful. But the songs are generally so short, it's hard to really appreciate them. Hell of an album though. Sorry, mixtape.
