First listen.
An almost full album listen is scrobbled (10 of 12 tracks). It's unlikely my wife would have initiated a complete album listen. This is likely my first listen to the album. But it's also possible I wasn't in the car for all the tracks.

Second listen.
The second full album listen occurs on this date. Simlar comments as 20260224. No plays scrobbled between these scrobbles and the scrobbles on 20260224.

Third listen.

4: "Man I Need";
3: "So Easy (To Fall In Love)";
2: "Nice to Each Other"; "Baby Steps";
1: "The Art of Loving (Intro)"; "Lady Lady"; "I've Seen It";
0: "Close Up"; "Something Inbetween"; "Loud"; "A Couple Minutes";

Summary:
Overall, the album is a solid listen. Slightly reminds me of LÉON, but falls a little short of being as catchy. Though I believe Olivia Dean is much more known. And to be fair, they have different sounds, so it likely just happens I'm a little more drawn towards the sound of LÉON. With that being said, there are some strong tracks on the album.

Overall Rating: 4.8/5
Favorite Song: "Man I Need"
