The album showcases strong melodies and thoughtful lyrics but lacks a cohesive flow throughout its runtime.

What we noticed

  • The album features a consistent use of synthesizers layered with melodic hooks, particularly evident in tracks like 'Know How' and 'The Riddle'.
  • Several tracks employ a call-and-response vocal technique, creating an engaging dynamic between Kershaw's lead vocals and background harmonies.
  • The tempo varies across the album, with tracks like 'Wild Horses' providing a slower pace that contrasts with the more upbeat songs.
