Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following a severe health crisis, the pop chameleon delivers a staggeringly eclectic, intensely raw conceptual examination of mortality and shifting musical eras. The incredibly varied production touches on everything from 90s alternative rock to delicate contemporary folk, serving as pastiches for different decades of the artist's theoretical life. It is a profoundly depressive, yet fiercely introspective and courageous pop milestone.
