Well that's an interesting and different start: a spoken vocal over what sounds like uileann pipes but is most likely a synthesiser. Very effective though, and gives the idea this is not going to be just another pop album. I like “100 Letters” and “Eyes Closed” has a dark balladic feel to it. “Alone” sounds very much like a soul song, really showcases her singing ability and is very catchy too. A lovely piano ballad in “Sorry” though I could do without Quavo on “Lie”, then “Bad at Love” makes me forget that track. A pretty damn fine pop album when all is said and done. I'd listen to more.
