Foothills
Higher than 23% of albums we've rated

The album showcases solid songwriting and production but lacks a strong cohesive arc throughout its runtime.

What we noticed

  • The first three tracks establish a consistent mid-tempo groove, while the fourth track introduces a slower ballad that shifts the album's energy.
  • Several tracks feature layered vocal harmonies, with Hamilton's lead vocals often accompanied by background singers that create a rich texture.

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
