Singling out Finneas' contributions at album's close is no slight to her more regular team, although you do wish he'd done even more with her, or will. She's got a good bunch of regulars on her side, with the previous album's core helmer, Frank Dukes, still on board but stepping back just a bit as helmers like Louis Bell and Andrew Watt take on greater roles, along with guest-star appearances by the likes of Mattman & Robin. You could blame the latter team for the excess of AutoTune on "Living Proof" -- one of those cases where it's hard to tell if it's being deliberately accentuated, as an effect, or they just neglected to underplay it -- but that's no big deal given how she's proving more expressive as a singer, generally, love and beyond the pleasing trademarks and tics that worked for her before. "Romance" is a record that bumps her up a level as an artist, without trying to advance her into maturity too fast. Those closing tracks do set you up, anyway, for larger leaps to come.
