Wade wrote all 13 tracks on Obsessed, and Clint Wells produced the project. [1]

Reception

Ed Power of iNews gave this album four stars and praised the album by saying "The album lacks the big corporate gloss of Psychopath, but the grittier framing gives her material room to breathe and showcases her taut, expressive voice. In a departure from previous projects, Wade wrote all the songs herself, often after shows. Forged amid a combination of jetlag and loneliness, it pulsates with hallucinatory imagery and wee-hours anxiety." [2]
