HIT ME HARD AND SOFT REVIEW
album rating: 10/10
fav tracks: SKINNY, CHIHIRO, THE GREATEST, BLUE, BITTERSUITE
this album is a first 10/10 in ages. bc god, is this the finest shit i've heard in a long time. this album is experimental but also consistent. it's important to realise, though comparatively to billie's previous albums and discography, this album is consistent, it is not repetitive. the production is pure perfection.
this album has literally no skips. i do have my favourites, but no skips. i'm a big fan of beat drops, and smooth transitions which Billie easily achieved in the best way possible, for example: the end of SKINNY and start of LUNCH, or THE GREATEST, beat drop and volume change. even the vocals, from soft to sometimes, screams seemed to enhance the lyrics even more. this album was unpredictable — something that many artists, even some of my favourites, have failed to achieve. so this album, along with Frank Ocean's Blonde, easily becomes my favourites of all time.
this album is literally for the AOTY.
