Review by Kojun Shimoyama

XS's album Always is a refreshing and captivating musical journey that showcases the band's versatility and creativity. From the opening track, listeners are drawn in by the lush and melodic instrumentation, which is perfectly complemented by the smooth and emotive vocals of lead singer.

The album features a range of musical styles, from the upbeat and catchy pop-rock of tracks like "Forever Young" and "Good Times" to the more introspective and introspective ballads like "Lonely Nights" and "Broken Dreams." Each song is expertly crafted, with intricate arrangements and thoughtful lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Always," a beautifully haunting ballad that showcases XS's ability to create powerful and emotive music. The song builds slowly, with delicate piano chords and soft vocals that gradually give way to soaring strings and a soaring chorus.

Summary by Kojun Shimoyama

Always is a must-listen for fans of indie rock, pop, and alternative music. XS has created a truly remarkable album that will resonate with listeners long after the final notes have faded away.
