CRITIC REVIEWS

83
A.V. Club

Earthee is remarkable in its ability to balance the obscure and experimental with the direct and familiar.

80
PopMatters
Rarely do albums both invite you in and challenge you the way this album does.
80
AllMusic

EarthEE may not have the direct, off-the-cuff quality of AwE NaturalE, but its all-around richness is incontestable.

80
NME
You can hear Badu’s influence across ‘EarthEE’, which flows as freely as its predecessor, but is more sonically detailed and rich.
80
Exclaim!

There are few artists who are as artistically uncompromising, and while EarthEE may not garner the duo many new fans, its quality will ensure it outlives the kind of transient hype they might have shot for.

musicOMH
Tinged with jazz and various world music, this is aware and absorbing music, conscious in a broad sense, sometimes circuitous, but mostly questioning and satisfying.
68
Pitchfork

Something—usually a feeling—needs to hold long after you’ve forgotten the lyrics, and EarthEE makes one think more than feel.

67
Consequence of Sound

For the most part, EarthEE sounds like it’s suspended in midair, much of it blending together.

60
Drowned in Sound

Their debut was also frequently fun, groovy and sexy. EarthEE never is. And considering it’s a celebration and admiration for Earth and the life it supports, this is both surprising, and a shame.

60
The Line of Best Fit
They could make something more danceable, but it’s all a bit too artful for that.
