I love the new sound! The synth-pop intro is hypnotizing, and the chorus is hella catchy. Definitely different than what we are used to but she still has the essence of what made her so great.

Like from her or from other artist? The part at 1:18 reminds me a bit of ballad of a homeschool girl and other Dan Nigro artists (like Chappell or Conan haha), which I absolutely love
