Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.

- Several tracks incorporate layered harmonies that build gradually, such as in 'Glow' and 'More of You', creating a rich sound texture.
- The pacing varies significantly; the first half maintains an upbeat tempo while the latter half shifts to slower, more reflective songs like 'Secret Place' and 'Champion'.
