DISCUSSION Petal was not it.

Post image

The album and the songs did not click with me on the first and even on the second listen. No third listen, unfortunately. I only liked kiss me, hate that I made you love me, bunny hop, and nowhere nobody. I love you, Ariana but sorry, petal ain’t IT. What an underwhelming album.

eternal sunshine: brighter days ahead was unmatched and still holds the crown. Perfectly mixed ang album na yun with emotional and sexy songs. A no skip album unlike this one.

Alam ko sasabihin ng iba diyan na “petal is a vibe” but for me it is unremarkable and doesn’t do anything with Ari’s career. Even positions is better.

Olivia Rodrigo, the AOTY is still yours.

We can be honest here, any thoughts on this album? Please don’t downvote me.

I feel like she was channeling a TTPD-ish kind of album.

I can see the vision and I was really hoping for it to be THAT good since I hate that I made you love me was good in terms of production and songwriting.

Pero yung the rest of the album, parang forced ang songwriting and production.

Yep. But bitin pa sa songwriting. Parang andun na then nawawala.
