Cindy Lee sounds like Ariel Pink with lower fi equipment to me. I'm going to make the case that C,XOXO is more interesting and satisfying than the Carpenter and Eilish efforts taken as a whole, even if it's far less "perfect". Later in the month...

I agree - Charli's album feels a little more rough and a little more personal, and I think that adds to its charm. Carpenter would be third of those three for me, I think. And I know Beyonce got a few mentions here, but I put her album fourth.

I hear you - Brat and Brat+ are encyclopedic - but I have in mind Camila Cabello's masterpiece - the confusion probably deliberate because she steals from Charli as well as *everyone* else!
