CRITIC REVIEWS

By drawing upon so many cross-currents, Hero belongs to the digital era but it's the songs -- smart, sharp, and hooky -- that make this a great modern pop album, regardless of genre.

Her debut album, Hero, showcases her honeyed vocals and preternatural sense of melody, with early singles like “80s Mercedes” and “My Church” as hook-laden as anything in Top 40 rotation.
This is one of those albums where I don't necessarily like it, but it's quite good. Like, I'd never choose to listen to this, but I totally respect it for what it is, and I really can't hate it.
