U - underscores Initial Listen Review: Tell Me (U Want It) - 2/5 Music - 1/5 Hollywood Forever - 1/5 The Peace - 5/5 Innuendo (I Get U) - 3/5 Lovefield - 4/5 Do It - 3/5 Bodyfeeling - 4/5 Wish U Well - 5/5 Average Rating - 3.1/5 Lyrically the album doesn’t seem to have a focus or story, which is a negative for me. But the moments of pure personal lyrics seen on “The Peace” and “Wish U Well” really shine on underscores biggest strengths of connection and intent. Unfortunately, most of the albums focal point is the sound. It’s very glass and plastic, with shining synths and bodied basses but the lyrics get lost so easily in it. This is not a fault of the genre though as 2025 saw a staggering number of EDM releases with super specific and personal lyrics(Revengeseekerz by Jane Remover, I Love My Computer by Ninajirachi, Unimusique by Lucy Bedroque, K1 by Kmoe, Breakup by Tiffany Day). I think this project from underscores just misses that mark and expectation from her previous works...
