    Lovers may be a break-up album, but it’s one full of optimism, and more than a few catchy pop choruses.

    There are a few moments that miss their mark--recent single “Someone” has a forced keychange that belies its soaring effortlessness--but for the most part, Lovers is a slick, listenable debut with a strong sense of direction and poise.

    Lovers isn't instant, but perseverance brings great rewards. [Oct 2017, p.100]

    The fact is that Lovers is an almost unremarkable debut, except for the fact that it hits every target set for itself with clinical accuracy. If you’re in the market for something harder than Celine Dion but a little softer than Dragonette, you could do a lot worse than Anna of the North’s debut.

    This album is filled with just the most perfect electro-pop melodies, ranging from slow-jams to downright bops! It has a song for everyone andThis album is filled with just the most perfect electro-pop melodies, ranging from slow-jams to downright bops! It has a song for everyone and although the album may be shorter at just 10 songs, there is not a single filler track in this record. In a world, full of soft-singing indie-pop girls, Anna of the North's touch on synth-filled heartbreak pop masterpieces sets her apart. This album will take you to another world and almost wish you had a breakup go as beautifully as Lovers portrays it.
    Standout tracks: Feels (personal favorite), Moving On, Someone
