I've been relistening to her old albums in preparation and I actually think it's helping moderate my anticipation. I've created such high expectations for this project that it's impossible to live up to. Going back to listen to my favs like Full Moon and Afro in full sequence reminds me that they aren't PERFECT, even though I consider them classics. There are some songs on there I always skip
So yeah, I don't have to expect every song to slay me on this one. As long as there's one or two good messes that speak to my soul I'll be goodT.
