CRITIC REVIEWS

90
The Line of Best Fit
It’s testament to her reputation that a debut album is already subverting expectations.
87
Northern Transmissions
It is a bold and beautifully executed album that will certainly breed dance albums of a predominantly sexual nature in its wake, and its share of haters and critics.
82
Beats Per Minute

With Nymph, Shygirl brings another original voice in the mix; good luck hearing a record that portrays sex in similarly tactile, authentic and effortlessly cool fashion.

80
Pitchfork
Sensuous, funny, and smartly produced, the London artist’s full-length debut transforms dusky electronic beats and trending pop sounds into a singular celebration of sexual agency.

AllMusic

Nymph isn't exactly the type of album full of bangers that one might have previously expected from Shygirl, but it reveals a greater depth to her personality, and it's consistently inventive and awe-inspiring.

On her long-awaited debut album, the London-based artist unlocks a new level of intimacy and emotional depth in her songwriting.

DIY
Ultimately, ‘Nymph’ is a climax – a culmination of years of experimental foreplay – that puts Shygirl on the map as one of the UK’s freshest voices.

The Telegraph

Nymph is a distinctive, sensual and striking debut.

80
Spectrum Culture
The pop sensibilities of Shygirl & co. play out with all the knowhow of a mainstream producer. But with their futuristic vision, all they can do is wait around for the rest of the pop world to catch up with them.

Nymph nos mostra um futuro promissor para Shygirl — uma artista perfeita para assumir as rédeas da música pop alternativa.

No seu álbum de estreia, Blane Muise, ou Shygirl, não se limita a temáticas que traduzam apenas um sentimento de liberdade e empoderamento feminino que, por sinal, é algo feito à beça por outras artistas. A diferença está, portanto, na maneira criativa com que ela trabalha essas questões, ... read more

Esperava um pouco mais de 'Nymph' honestamente. O álbum debut de Shygirl não vem com a mesma força de seus lançamentos anteriores como 'ALIAS' e penso que algo melhor poderia ter sido feito aqui. No entanto, ainda assim, a artista entrega um ótimo álbum de estreia que pode não mostrar de maneira tão triunfal o talento da artista igual seus EPs, mas independentemente disso, é uma boa amostra de seu potencial.
