Review by DeShawn Price★★★Sample

Overhyped? Maybe. Did I still cry at “It's Been a Long Time”? Also maybe.

Not every song lands, but when it does it LANDS. “It's Been a Long Time” is the keeper.

Review by Mira Okafor★★★★½Sample

The bass on “It's Been a Long Time” should be studied in universities.

Review by Priya Raman★★★★Sample

the sequencing here is criminally underrated. “It's Been a Long Time” into the next one?? come on.

I wanted to love this so badly. “It's Been a Long Time” is fine I guess.
