Love all the songs, if I had one critique, it would be the track order. 'Rush' was cool and funky but, maybe a bit too discordant for an opening hook. Perhaps a straight switch of 'Rush' and 'Forever'? I feel like 'Forever' is a great hook, 'Where You Belong' makes a great middle of a sandwich either way and, 'Rush' will now cleanse the pallet for another super smooth 'Every Rain'(my favorite btw). Just a thought!

The whole band is amazing, but I honestly think that Yukimi is a once-in-a-generation singer. She just makes it look so easy, she really digs deep with every note but without overselling it, and her performances are full of spot-on little nuances and touches- a level of vocal control and expression that that stands out even more for being in the middle of this bland autotune-drenched pop era. She is one of those rare musicians that just elevates everything she is in- that collab they did with Gorillaz is a perfect example of that. I know they've had a decent amount of success, but they deserve way more. Little Dragon should be a household name imo.

I disagree that she is once in a generation. I am not trying to be controversial and I think this group is truly special, but the group is a sum of it's parts. I really can't separate the members. Each one of them is absolutely lost and immersed. I think that is what I appreciate. Music is truly transcendent when you no longer notice the individual and it becomes bigger, simply about the sound.

Little Dragon. Tiny Desk. Enormous Joy.

Maybe it's the subtle trippy neosoul undertone, or her Erykah-like voice, or just the refreshing lack of a generic sound. Often childishly simple music, like they didn't really craft it, but just did some stuff and stuck with it. But somehow super inviting and engaging. To quote Neo..
