It opens with the haunting “Tic Toc (Introduction),” where her crisp vocals are reminiscent of Amy Lee of Evanescence, and it is followed by the upbeat and spitfire “Let It Out.” She slows down the pace on the bluesy “U + Me,” while her vocals on “Curls” are soothing and pure as the driven snow.
She shows some attitude and sass on “Really, Dude?” as well as her ability to nail the high notes. After the album’s lead single, the stirring “Happening to Me” and the album closes with the title track ballad, “This Time,” where she leaves her fans and listeners wanting to hear more.
This Time is available on Apple Music, Spotify and on Amazon Music.
