Across 12 tracks and just under 42 minutes, SWIIMS navigates the “Blue Night” having elements to appreciate in each of them. Looking ahead, it would be intriguing to explore a broader vocal range, experiment with longer and shorter song arrangements, and introduce varied instrumentation. Nevertheless, highlights in tracks like “All I Die For,” “Bliss,” and “A Million Stars” showcase adept tempo shifts, breaks, and builds, while “Closer” stands out with its distinctive twangy guitar solo, evoking shades of country, western, and surf influences. These moments affirm SWIIMS’ capability to craft compositions with expansive dynamics.
