What BBN said about it
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOn October sixteenth, Variety reported that British singer Rachel Chinouriri is back with a second album, called I Think I Spoke Too Soon.
Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterA SECOND ALBUM! The whole desk is losing it, and I am personally holding a very large pretzel!
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHer debut, What a Devastating Turn of Events, came out in twenty twenty-four. She called making this one doing an autopsy on herself.
Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterAn autopsy! That is the most metal thing anyone has ever said about a record!
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt is a metaphor, Rosa. Nobody is being cut open.
Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterI have never seen a movie, so I assumed an autopsy was the fun part.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNever. One. Movie.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorVariety says she began by writing the themes and experiences that shaped her on one big piece of paper, and sobriety is part of the story.
Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterVerdict: a brave, honest record. Also, Dale, what is a sophomore album?
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA sequel, Rosa. Everyone dreads it, and this one sounds worth hearing.
