Reason for Listening:
The Spotify album radio for Circles played and the tracks by this artist caught my attention.
According to last.fm, the two tracks that played were "Alaska" and "Overnight", the second and seventh tracks to play in the radio, respectively. I stopped listening to the radio after the eleventh song. Then a couple of hours later, I listened to this album for the first time. However, prior to the aforementioned, last.fm tracked 21 scrobbles for the album in 2020 - most of these are associated to the Spotify album radio for LÉON.
Released 20190118.
12 songs. 45:27. Heard It in a Past Life (2019)

The lyrics, sound, and pace of "Overnight" is beautiful. I love how the tension builds up to "I'm gone."
This song has a neat beat with lyrics that match it's punchy sound. But it's a bit much for my mood.
3: "Give a Little"; "Overnight"; "Alaska"; "Light On";
2: "Say It"; "On + Off"; "Fallingwater";
1: "The Knife"; "Burning";
0: "Past Life"; "Retrograde"; "Back In My Body";
Summary:
Although I liked certain songs more than others, the entire album was amazing. Intuitively, I'd give such a strong performing album a 5.2 out of 5. Another album I had a similar feeling towards is Punisher, which I also rated a 5.2 out of 5. Comparing how I rated songs across the two albums, I felt it appropriate to bump up the rating to a 5.4. I was tempted to give it a 5.6, especially because I gave LÉON a 5.4, but I decided to stick with a 5.4.
Overall Rating: 5.4/5
Favorite Song: can't decide
