She cleverly juxtaposes the idea of going to pieces with the idea of lacking peace in an excellent lyrical display. In another strik

Past the song’s immediate hook (and a groove as retro as its protagonist

The first time I heard the opening song, "5Am" I got chills down my spine. As we journey alongside the princess from pain and heartache with "Growing Pain/ Interlude" and "Try" to an effervescent hope of "Be Better," Owens craftily paints us the portrait of a feminist fairytale.
