Day two: Lychee - BENEE
Was not my favorite, however did enjoy a few tracks.
Day one: Bird's Eye - Ravyn Lenae
I'm a sucker for neo-soul and R&B. Although many know Love Me Not, the entire album is a banger. No skips. I particularly like Genius and Pilot.
Also, the visuals for Love Me Not?? Amazing (www.youtube.com/watch?v=cswf...)
One of my 2025 goals is to listen to one album from start to finish per day. We've lost the art of listening to music as the stories they are. I'll be giving a short note for each one on this page.
