This is a fantastic debut album. Au/Ra is a very talented artist. What I find refreshing is the way she can create a song not only with a very catchy chorus. But turn simple and generic lyrics about topics on relationships and turn them on there head with the use of metaphors and imagery. It adds such an interesting and unique dynamic to the songs that really makes Au/Ra stand out as an artist.

I also loved the blending of pop, dance and Alternative. Despite being three genres, they blended together on different songs excellently. With some inventive choruses that built layers to its production well. My only slight criticism would be that certain songs try to do a bit too much production wise, but this was only for a few songs and the production worked most of the time.

My favourite songs ranked:

1. Bite Marks

2. Heavy

3. Screw Feelings

4. No Future

5. Dead Girl! (Shake my head)

6. Soundtrack to an Existential Crisis

7. U

8. Hush

9. Young Giants

Overall, Soundtrack to an existential crisis is a fantastic debut album for Au/Ra with her creative writing and mixing of genres being a big standout. And despite some songs having a bit messy production, it still makes her stand out as an artist, I look forward to her future projects.

Overall score 9/10
