If the construction of a song is well done 15 minutes can fly past! A while ago when Metallica released their new album I was listening to the vast majority of the songs thinking "Well that's a chorus too much" or "This song outstayed its welcome" and I was concerned since the last song on the album would be their longest song EVER at just over 11 minutes.
Ironically that song was over before I knew it lmao, it was really well constructed so it was great. Tbh I love long songs in general. Kate Bush also had three very lengthy songs on her most recent album and they really take you through a story.
i feel like the term "ep" gets used these days to apply to any project an artist doesn't want counted as an album in their discography lol, that or mixtape
I haven’t seen it referred to as an EP, only an “album” (ironically, I saw an article that stated that she says it’s not an album, yet her Instagram posts refer to it as an album so take that as you will).
Most places are calling it her sophomore album, and Pitchfork specifically calls it an LP, but who really knows!
Exciting! Her music is so soothing until I pay close attention to the lyrics and feel like I’ve been punched in the gut, lol.
I don’t mind long songs, either. My fave band opened one of their recent albums with a 10-minute song and it really set the tone for the rest of the album.

if you are interested in checking her out, the longest track on her debut album happens to be one of its absolute highlights:
