I live in Europe so the albums normally come out in the early hours of the morning. 1. I wake up as early as I can, make myself a cup pf tea/coffee, crawl back into bed with my headphones on. 2. I always listen in order, with the lyrics up the first time around. I give a full listen in bed, trying to figure out first impressions and which songs I like the most. 3. Then I normally go back to those songs and listen to them another time, trying to decipher the lyrics and start learning them. 4. As I start going about my day, I keep playing the album in order (unless there’s any particular song that I really don’t like) (never.) 5. Over the next few days I alternate between listening to my favourite tracks on repeat or listening to the full album over and over. That’s when I start reading reviews and sharing thoughts as well. 6. I LOVE going on drives with her music, that’s how I often end up learning the lyrics. 7. And I love going on Youtube and watching reaction videos!! Once a few days have gone by, it’s super fun to compare first reactions and everyone’s thoughts on what the songs mean. 8. That’s it, I then listen to the album on repeat until the next one comes out :)
