It’s the kind of song that pairs well with rainy afternoons or late-night scrolls, echoing the yearning in tracks like “Guilt” while nodding to her growth since Human and the You EP days. As the full tracklist unfolds from “I’M FINE!” to the closing “Not For Lack Of Trying,” album promises dodie’s most cohesive work yet, blending collabs like Greta Isaac on “Darling, Angel, Baby” with solo vulnerability.
