    This in fact my least favorite album from Natasha, yeah it's beautiful, but i wouldn't play some of the tracks again by myself unless they come up random on my playlist cuz they're too repetitive to match the whole concept and it gets tired.
    In God's House, Sunday Love, Close Encounters & In Your Bed are the Highlights for me.

    It’s not a quick fix to the pain in her heart, but it is part of the essential journey, one that may be fabricated but feels all too real nonetheless thanks to Khan’s riveting and insightful storytelling.

    The Bride is a stellar soundtrack to the complexities of womanhood within the institution of marriage, a triumph of raw intensity.

    With The Bride, Khan has created a sublime tale of sorrow and recovery, of accepting loss and working through pain to become a stronger person. Likewise, Khan has taken her interest in similar journeys from earlier albums and used them to make her most consistently captivating work thus far.
