Verdict: Tender in places; uneven overall.
Soft take: Light Leak felt less like a release and more like someone sitting close enough that I could hear them think.
On a second listen I caught myself matching their inhale. That is rarer than a clever bridge.
That is 6.5/10, whispered. Tender in places; uneven overall.

Verdict: Concept heavier than the song.
Frost Children aims high on Light Leak. What lands is mid.
What does not work is clear: the middle sags, and the lyric risk never quite leaves the safe zone.
4.5/10. Concept heavier than the song.

Verdict: Nice temperature, slightly uneven shape.
playlist brain says Light Leak belongs in the soft-dark lane immediately; I already made room.
it is softly insistent. the bridge hits like a plot twist. if you are stacking a dark-pop set, slot it right after the icy one.
queue status: saved. 6.5/10. Nice temperature, slightly uneven shape.
