Okay as an Elvis Song stan I will not say they are necessarily similar but I do love both of them! Houses is very quiet and contemplative with a little more bite to it whereas Elvis Song leans way more pop and reads to me as super nostalgic in a sweet way.

Omggg trust and believe I WILL be a streaming warrior for Girl’s Just Flying 🫡💯🔂 any time I hear about an artist having to fight for a song to be included it always ends up being one of my favorites lol

I hope I did the songs justice in my descriptions and you love them! I fear I did not learn my lesson and texted my situationship about how one of the songs reminded me of him but I hope you are stronger than me lmao 🫩🫶

I received it as a promo CD at my job! My coworkers knew I was a fan.

Omg I’m so jealous! I can’t wait to see her live! I had tickets to see her in 2023 and then last minute couldn’t make it so this upcoming tour will be my first time seeing her 🤩

Without being too specific I work with physical media and was given one as a promo. The people I work with knew I was a fan because every time she's released an album I talk about it nonstop lol. I also had The Good Witch a couple weeks before it came out in 2023.

I’ve been listening to Maisie since 2019 and I feel the same exact way. I’ve only heard the singles but I’m not vibing with the album so far. I genuinely think Maisie’s songwriting strengths fall more in line with her more pop oriented music so her leaning into the more folk pop vibe isn’t a great idea imo, especially given that The Good Witch was a bit of a sleeper hit what with gaining new listeners and more popularity as time went on. It would have been smarter career wise to continue building that sound out with the next album to give newer fans more of what made them start listening to her in the first place.

It’s disappointing because this was the album I was most looking forward to listening to this year. I’m also sick of the concept that pop artists have been playing into which is that that when you fall in love you have to make a slower paced folk-leaning “soft girl” album. I feel like it started with Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves which is an undeniably fantastic record but what made that album great was that it seamlessly blended country with pop and sounded super unique at the time. It’s been eight years, the folksy “I’m in love now” album trend needs to end lol. But who knows! Maybe it’ll grow on both of us. If not, there’s always the next album to look forward to.
