HER DEBUT ALBUM IS AN UNSUNG AUGHTIES CLASSIC. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? ACCUSATIONS

There’s a tacit expertise we demand of pop songs — the implicit assurance that,
for the next three or four minutes, our dopamine levels are being manipulated by
vetted professionals. But more than that, we demand excitement, and we don’t
really care how we get it. Sometimes, a miracle happens. A song that has very
little of the first thing generates wild amounts of the second thing, and
through that tiny window of time, life shimmers with possibility.
