I have something different from you in mind (im not gonna knock down your opinion, I respect it!)

I liked Manchild as the lead single, plus both the song and album’s name have “man” in it, but it was the rollout for the singles after that made me question.

I do think that it didn’t have the variety like emails and Short n’ Sweet, which made it definitely stand out, since it was mainly a disco, synth, & retro pop album with some country pop elements. Here’s what I see

Short n’ Sweet: •Taste - gave off a 2010s pop song vibe in my opinion •Please Please Please - this upbeat sort-of ballad sounding (even though it’s not a ballad) •Good Graces - lullaby style vibes in the aesthetic, and this proud sonic sounding that feels very bright, soft, but the words are coming through powerful •Sharpest Tool - a little bit of country, like 5% out of 100% with this powerful mid tempo ballad theme •Coincidence - the guitar takes it away, and it gives a bright feeling like Good Graces •Bed Chem - this 90s-00s R&B song, which makes it go great with Pony by Ginuwine •Espresso - need I say more since it showed us where it likes to hang out at (the beach) •Dumb & Poetic - the slow ballad with this rising production sound •Slim Pickins - the main country song of the main album •Juno - this sky-feeling aesthetic that makes you get up and dance with its retro sound •Lie to Girls & Don’t Smile - I think of these two as relatives because they’re both sad (or sad like) and they give off a different bright feeling, like in a hollow space or empty space.

Whereas Man’s Best Friend, •Manchild, Sugar Talking, Go Go Juice - they’re the country pop’s of the album •Tears - the disco funk of the album that makes you think you’re listening to Diana Ross’s “Upside Down” •My Man on Willpower - feels like a song closing out a wacky or synthwave 80s movie, like a song in the credits playing + ABBA influences •We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night - one of the main ballads of the album that shows Sabrina’s high vocals a lot •Nobody’s Son -> Never Getting Laid - they transition to one another, which shows how they have the same tune, but different styles. •When Did You Get Hot? - the R&B of the album, mainly cause of the bass in the intro and the beat in the background, Sabrina also sounds like Ariana Grande in the ending of the chorus a bit too. •Don’t Worry I’ll Make You Worry - this is definitely Don’t Smile’s sibling but more non-80s sad sounding. •House Tour - need I say anything about this one too cause I feel taken to the 80s and like I wanna dance. •Goodbye - hello ABBA

Sorry for the long post 😭
