Review

Soko's "I Thought I Was an Alien" is a mesmerizing debut that whisks you away to a realm of quiet contemplation. With minimalist arrangements and breathy vocals, she weaves a diary-like atmosphere that's as intimate as it is haunting. This French singer-songwriter isn't afraid to bare her soul, and tracks like the title song and "First Love Never Die" are infused with a deep sense of longing and melancholy. As you delve into her world, you'll discover that Soko's storytelling is unflinchingly honest, with each note and word revealing a little more about her innermost thoughts and emotions.

The unpolished production of "I Thought I Was an Alien" only amplifies its emotional impact, making you feel like you're experiencing Soko's inner turmoil firsthand. Songs like "For Marlon" and "Don't You Touch Me" showcase her unique ability to balance fragility with sharp emotional edges, creating a sense of tension that's both captivating and unnerving. While the album may be occasionally uneven, its rawness is a key part of its charm, offering a glimpse into Soko's introspective world that's both deeply personal and utterly compelling. With "I Thought I Was an Alien", Soko introduces herself as a uniquely unfiltered artist, and it's an introduction that will leave you wanting more. - Ember
