School Nights

Five tracks of moody, piano-led dark pop. A theatrical and somber introduction to a voice that would later define the neon-lit dance floor.

Before the drag and the disco, there was this: a hauntingly beautiful collection of dark piano ballads.

A heavy, theatrical melancholy that feels like a cold autumn evening in a small town.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sharp, percussive intake of breath before the chorus of Good Hurt hits.
The way her voice fractures into a haunting falsetto during the bridge of Die Young.
The cinematic swell of strings that elevates the final minute of Bad for You into a gothic climax.
