CRITIC REVIEWS

80
AllMusic

Aerotropolis, her second album, adds even more references to the mix and leaves her fine debut in the dust. 

80
NME

Ultimately, ‘Aerotropolis’ is not just a statement of Ikonika’s personal growth and reinvigoration, but a measured statement of British electronic music’s broader lift-off.

80
Resident Advisor

To put it in simple terms: Ikonika has delivered one of 2013's definitive summer albums. It's time to get happy. 

70
Drowned in Sound

There’s very little that’s boring about Aerotropolis, quite the opposite in fact, but there’s also not always enough that jumps out.

65
Pitchfork

Aerotropolis' 180 pop move-- as comfortable and assured in its own niche as it is-- is so abrupt that it almost feels like an innovative rulebreaker hitting the reset button and starting a completely new, much more familiar persona from scratch.

50
Tiny Mix Tapes

Somewhere under the shiny, retrogressive hedonism and 4/4 decadence, there’s a voice trying to escape the easy confines it has found for itself.
