The writing on this track is excellent. Pair that with ominous and hemlocke’s cinematic performance, we have a hair-raising opener.

Excellent writing once again. This time, the production opts for a drum-and-bass approach to support another impressive performance from hemlocke.

Great writing again. It’s admirable how hemlocke’s voice pierces so easily through the track’s energetic production.

This track has an inexplicably disarming quality. On the surface, it’s a “simple” synth-pop effort, but the way it’s handled results in a track that is just infectious.

“You got me singing, baby... I know you want to set me free.” Oh, this album thus far has been an incessant bombardment of A-tier bops.

Be prepared to ugly-cry-sing your heart out to the sheer power oozing through every facet of this closing track.
Wow! You all are in for a treat with this one, especially the pop heads among you. Oh, dear. Just when you think you’ve heard all ABC-pop could offer, you get this. It’s a strong restoration of hope in the by-the-numbers approach to the pop genre. There’s barely any per-track commentary in this review because, through it all, I was just stunned. Truly, we have not seen it all.
Overall, the album is excellent. I am completely blown over. Thank you, hemlocke springs and team.
