this might look like a stupid question but what attracts you and seemingly everyone else towards her? i think ‘blud’ was an amazing in all fairness and she has great individuality but i think im missing this big wow factor everyone sees in her
I like her voice. I like her personality. I like her songs. That’s sort of all I need. It’s still early days for her but she’s already making music like this at 16 and that’s kind of worth some wow factor.
