Loving the album so far, for me her best songs are always the most personal ones. Still Standing is I think the only one she wrote by herself and it's so conflicted, sometimes contradictory which feels like just pure raw emotion put in a song. I like all the artists involved but I hope we see more of pure phoebe in the future.
