). Nothing grew on me after 3 partial listens.
I feel like Alxi. The whole sequenced aspect comes off like the production trying too hard, really jamming her into a cubby-hole just to get a hit.
Un-thinkable had potential because it's one of the few tracks that has memorable composition, but those lyrics, flat vocals.. Eh. Out and out ruined it. You've really gotta be grasping at straws lyrically to trash hooks like that.
