SO CLOSE TO WHAT??? (deluxe)

the take

Great album for when I just want vibes and don’t want to overanalyze lyrics. It’s very catchy, “bad bitch” energy with more “bops and less ballads.” I do wish there were more ballads like Nostalgia. This feels like Tate’s more defined pop direction now…more mainstream pop that fits into this era of pop music while still keeping her uniqueness. The production is strong, and I really enjoyed the concert and performances as well.
