“Desire, I Want To Turn Into You” is my favorite album of 2023. It is a collection of near perfect pop songs. Though pop music is not realy my genre and is often too shallow and commercial, this album has enough depth in lyrics, composition, performance and production to make me love it.

Hopedrunk Everasking - did anyone else hear the smoke alarm that needs new batteries? Other than that I really enjoyed this album. Something different but familiar enough to feel comfortable.

This is pretty good. I like it best when she's not trying to get too cutesy. 3 stars.

I remember this album getting a lot of hype a couple of years ago, it never clicked with my at the time, listening back now I agree this is really good. One to be added to a list of great new music, but just not my personal taste for a frequent rotation.

It's a level above a pop album- lots of interesting things going on. Not what I woulld choose to listen to on a cold evening but my kids like it.

You guys gotta stop adding albums I'm excited to listen to for the first time, they always seem to disappoint.
