Review coming soon. Ippantekina (talk) 09:11, 22 September 2022 (UTC)


### Lead and infobox
I'd list all studios using {{flat list}} because they are all in Nashville
Per Template:Infobox_album#Notes, bullet points should be used for multiple entries. Sebbirrrr (talk) 10:27, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
"... March 27, 2020 by Warner Music Nashville" comma after 2020 per MOS:DATE
"A country pop record, the tracks are inspired by ..." grammar
Use "Andress's" instead of "Andress' " per MOS:'S
"top 10" instead of "top ten" per MOS:NUM (unless "50" is also spelled out as "fifty")
"country-specific charts" → "country-music charts"
I'd specifically mention the exact positions instead of generalizing them
Are you talking about the album or the singles? Sebbirrrr (talk) 10:27, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
The album. I.e. it peaked at number nine on Top Country Albums. Ippantekina (talk) 11:30, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
Added. Sebbirrrr (talk) 12:25, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
I'd include the year for the 63rd Grammys
Link Best Country Album and Best Country Song
"the latter song being certified gold" → "was certified gold"


### Background and release
Add a brief introduction of who Eric Arjes is (singer? songwriter?)
"Warner Music Nashville issued The Rosebank Acoustic Sessions as Andress' debut extended play which contains acoustic covers of three of her songs" → "Warner Music Nashville issued Andress's debut extended play, The Rosebank Acoustic Sessions, which contains..."
" "Life of the Party" which were released as promotional singles" comma after "Life of the Party"
"while the entire tracklist has been re-arranged" → "was re-arranged"


### Music and lyrics
"The album's lyrics focus on [...] Overall, it touches on themes of [...]" grammar. Either "The album's lyrics focus on [...] Overall, they touch on themes of [...]" or "The album's lyrics focus on [...] Overall, the record touches on themes of [...]"
"signature scuffed-boot-brand of feminism" quotes need attribution
the Chicks (de-capitalize "the" per MOS:THEMUSIC)
Link banjo and cello
"after noticing the unrealistic expectations of love" unclear; were they her expectations or others'?
Apparently her generation's. From the Billboard source: I think people in my generation grew up thinking that love was a thing that you’d definitely find one day, and that once you found it, it would last forever and ever. And it would be easy once you’re married because you’re just “with that person now.” As an observer and human being, I have found this to be very far from the truth. Love isn’t just this “thing” that stays around after you’ve found it: It will leave if you take it for granted and don’t pay attention to it consistently.

I'd add something to it; "the unrealistic expectations of love" is vague. Ippantekina (talk) 11:30, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
Added "her generation's" in, let me know if it makes sense. Sebbirrrr (talk) 12:25, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
I'm sure "guitar-driven" doesn't need to be in quotes
"throbbing back beat" again, quotes need attribution; or you could paraphrase it


### Critical reception
For a 10-scale rating use numbers (7/10) instead of stars; I personally find the 10-star rating hard on the eye
Per WP:RSMUSIC, PopMatters now uses stars, but I removed it anyway since I agree that it is an eye sore. Sebbirrrr (talk) 10:27, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
I'd split the AllMusic review into two sentences to be less clunky
Link PopMatters
We do not need to recite the rating score; just add the prose
"the Associated Press"
All reviews are quoted! I'd want to see some paraphrased.
Yikes! Can't believe I didn't notice that when I started working on it 3 months ago. Hopefully it looks better now. Sebbirrrr (talk) 10:27, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
"best country and americana albums" I'd capitalize the list's name per MOS:TITLE
Ditto for the links to Best Country Album and Best Country Song


### Singles and commercial performance
"was confirmed to be the album's lead single in January 2020" but it was released in 2019; why did it take that long for the single to be confirmed?
Removed as it doesn't add much. This will be a bunch of WP:SYNTH, but basically "More Hearts Than Mine" was released as her second single under Warner and it later became her first song sent for radio. I guess they wanted to make it clear that "More Hearts Than Mine" was the first song from the era (even if they did that 1 year later) as "Lady Like" was actually her first single under Warner. Don't know if this answers your question but unfortunately I couldn't get a clear answer. Sebbirrrr (talk) 10:27, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
Then I guess "Lady Like" was her first single, and re-released in October 2020 as the album's third? Ippantekina (talk) 11:33, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
That's right. However there was no mention of "Lady Like" being part of any (upcoming) album when it was released. To avoid confusion I think this bit should be avoided completely now. Sebbirrrr (talk) 12:25, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
