As Long As I Got You was a happy rush of a song. Cute album filler but not brilliant.
Omg I really
love the chilled urban vibe on Close Your Eyes. It feels so sensual and relaxed. Not a fan of the lyrics though, they seem uninspired. 'Come on baby right there' bridge is annoying, lose some points.
Got high expectations for URL Badman at this point after reading through this thread.
I like the lyrics (URL Badman), somewhat classic Lily. The melodies and production are weak. The lyrics hold this together, there's nothing else special about it.
I like the lyrics on this one (Silver Spoon) too. Unlike URL I think this is stronger/more tight as a song too.
Life For Me is pretty forgettable.
Then we move back to Hard Out Here which has knocking lyrics but annoying autotune and chorus.
Somewhere Only We Know is cute.
In general, forgettable and disappointing album.
Best are probably Take My Place (by far), Insincerely Yours, SOWK and maybe Silver Spoon and Our Time. A few good songs bogged down by a lot of uninspired stuff.

imo there'll be a split between people who think new Lily is a breath of fresh air and more serious reviewers who will dislike it, leaning towards the latter. I don't think it will score above 70. 64-69 imo, more specifically 67.
this is the classic Lily song I needed from her, it needs to be a single
