Treeline

Higher than 66% of albums we've rated

Mahmood's sophomore effort blends contemporary R&B with pop, showcasing strong writing and production but with some uneven pacing.

What we noticed

• — The album opens with the hit 'Soldi', which sets a rhythmic tone that persists through the first half, while the second half introduces more introspective and slower tracks.
• — Several tracks feature layered vocal harmonies that create a rich texture, particularly in 'Gioventù bruciata' and 'Milano Good Vibes'.
• — The lyrics often explore themes of identity and youth, with a conversational style that invites listener engagement.
