CRITIC REVIEWS

Consequence of Sound

Faye Webster’s understated, self-deprecating persona almost dares you not to take her seriously. Don’t be fooled. Atlanta Millionaires Club is a masterpiece of claustrophobic intimacy that brings compelling immediacy to a time-tested story.

PopMatters
The 32-minute album is filled with moments like this, of bleak tenderness (or tender bleakness) mixed with dry humor and a gorgeous array of moody instrumentation. Lust and nostalgia for it, pain as a fact of life; this is the stuff of a million break-up albums and late-night jukebox soul ballads, and she damn well knows it.

NME

The Atlanta native's second album, encompassing slinky R&B and tender folk-pop, is sweeter than an iced tea on a sweltering afternoon.

Exclaim!

Contradictions and duplicities abound. But Webster is not putting us on. For all of its facades, Atlanta Millionaires Club is a work of arresting candour.

80
Rolling Stone

On her latest album Atlanta Millionaires Club—ten tracks of blustery loneliness and introspective songwriting—the only party Webster crashes is her own.

80
Clash

An odd but beautiful and often remarkable album, ‘Atlanta Millionaires Club’ has a depth of feeling that is difficult to shake off.

Uncut
To move forward, Webster had to pare down.

The Observer

Atlanta Millionaires Club nails the perfect balance of the singer-songwriter’s sleepy, intimate balladry with the rich musical history of her home city.

78
Pitchfork

The 21-year-old singer-songwriter’s third album is serene folk-pop with a mellow soul tinge and the melancholy clarity of someone twice her age.

75
The Line of Best Fit

An album that makes for pleasant easy listening, with frequent traces of genius.

AllMusic

Atlanta Millionaires Club finds Webster growing into her multi-dimensionality, embracing her love of both organic R&B and earthy indie in songs more vulnerable and direct than she has delivered before.

70
Under the Radar

Atlanta Millionaires Club is an intriguing step up from Webster, and she's given herself permission to proceed in a number of directions from here.

Spectrum Culture

Call it country songs to study too. A few mis-hits aside, Atlanta Millionaires Club can be background grooves or the soundtrack to your next fling. All guided by Webster’s sleepy smile.

I first heard "Kingston" after it started circulating online, and I really liked it so I'm glad I checked out the whole record. I really like Faye's voice with the vibey instrumentals, and I love some of lyrics in songs like "Right Side of My Neck." I'm not crazy about the opening track of the whole record, and I think if the first two songs were reversed, this would become more of an 8 album for me. Still, I really liked this and I'm glad I got around to it.

i love how consistent this album is. there's a very nostalgic atmosphere all throughout, and webster's experimentation is really refreshing compared to a lot of other female singer-songwriters who, especially in 2019, were constantly doing the same things. it's absolutely not for everyone and it may take time to click for some people, but this one is absolutely worth a listen. though it's only 31 minutes, it feels like a journey through a lovesick mind. just remove flowers and it's a near ... read more
