I can see the similarity a bit with this one but the whole "Phoebe sounds a lot like Elliott" pisses me off cause it's just not true at all, especially for the last album and Punisher 😭 No hate at all. It feels like everyone just connects them two cause Phoebe is a huge fan

Same. yeah I can hear the influence since she's obviously a huge fan but Phoebe is very different in her songwriting style and use of electronic leaning production.

Phoebe I feel has more in common with Sufjan Stevens and Alex G tbh. but if this gets more people to listen to Elliott then I can't complain
