    Since I heard " All Your Exes", I had a lot of good expectations for the album, but it turned out to be disappointing. She's a good songwriter and I know she could do better.

    Not bad, but I guess my expectations were too high. I enjoy a lot more her three previous EPs than this LP. It's true that the main topic of her EPs was heartbreak and in this one she tells us how in love she is, I have found that this happens to a lot of artists. Whenever they get married or find true love, their music goes downhill (in my opinion), of course, there are exceptions...

    Michaels gives you the sense that she's writing from experience and transforming her emotions into cathartic pop anthems. It doesn't hurt that she also has a warm, expressive voice, marked by a dusting of vocal fry that can make her sound vulnerable and sweet one minute and wickedly intimidating the next.

    It’s a perfectly enjoyable debut and a showcase for Michaels’ talent, but it doesn’t sound like the debut of an undeniable star.

    At times soft, at other times thick with sinew, 'Not In Chronological Order' allows Julia Michaels to parade her immense talent as a songwriter, as well as her charismatic, oh-so-expressive voice.
