love love love this post!!!!! i feel like a new release from an artist is always going to feel so much different than their past releases, and that's why it takes me so long to warm up to them and alter my expectation into the reality; everything that they've already released doesn't hold the same excitement and anticipation, so im fine with listening to it whenever, but then like u said the first listen of something new has so much pressure attached to it lol.

thank you so much!!! i’m so glad you like it! and that you relate to the feeling i tried to describe. when you're treading the liminal space between turning something unknown into something known, things can be awkward and uncertain but at the same time exciting… sometimes it really is a challenge to embrace all of those realities as part of what music can offer
