Thoughts: After a few songs, my opinion is that this is trying very hard to be Chappel Roan. I really don't care for it. Her vocal tone sounds very forced as generic pop things play in the background. Super warbly and overly dramatic. I catch some Florence or Miley every once in a while too.
Laura Pergolizzi was a songwriter first, getting tracks done by Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, and the Backstreet Boys. Apparently, David Lowery, of the band Cracker, spotted LP and had them sing backup on a Cracker track, and then produced LP's first album. The second disc was made with help from songwriter extraordinaire Linda Perry, but Wikipedia says: "Despite extensive touring to promote it and favorable reviews, the album failed to gain widespread recognition." Maybe because it isn't very interesting?
Fast forward a few years, and her 2016 album apparently hit a nerve. 2016's Lost on You has 6 of her most popular songs, including "Lost on You" which somehow has 1.1 BILLION streams.
Another semi-funny note in their Wikipedia: "LP's songs also include their whistling." Sure. I didn't expect that was a guest whistler. A lot of these songs have been featured in shows and movies. I am not on board, but if this is your favorite then I hope you have a great time.
