not even trying to be dramatic but the vocal stacking on Disco, Bitch! is doing insane heavy lifting. Like there are spots where it feels Ariana-clean but colder?? and then the doubles are tucked in so tight it almost sounds like one huge glossy voice.

H@HDDWatcherlabel-credit trackerproduction aside120 ptsReply the mastering chain is bright but not painful, which is honestly hard to pull off. HDD Records and Late Issue are basically the credibility anchors here.
