In ten songs, the spectrum of emotions triggered by love, ranging from infinite highs to crushing lows, is explored with a sense of discretion that is often absent in today’s music.
What’s particularly striking about its ten romantic sketches is how ‘mature’ they are. And mature in the traditional sense of the term, rather than as a euphemism for the cheap and tawdry.
With each continued listen, the album’s peaks and valleys–both emotional and sonic–become sharper and more defined, and the feeling behind Milosh’s voice, even more internalized and heartrending
Even without a face to attach it to, Rhye's music itself feels deeply intimate.
Woman might not contain the strongest or catchiest pop you'll hear this year, but it is certainly amongst the most affecting, touching and honest.
Rhye’s soulful take on minimalist pop, with its graceful piano, combined with sweeping cellos and yearning lyrics, makes pressing the repeat button inevitable.
In ‘Woman’, they’ve bypassed the hurdle of dangerous, immaterial preconceptions by creating the ultimate debut album: a future classic brimming with effortless, tangible love songs.
I’m moved by the fragility, the vulnerability, the honesty, the disruption of masculinity. It’s inspiring to hear a way to be gentle, empathetic, brittle, and still express a deeply human impulse.
Not only does this come across as a feminist statement, but it also plays like a declaration of Sapphic love: an unlikely achievement from two dudes expressing hetero desire.
Though Rhye’s music is intimate and vulnerable, Milosh seems in control – perhaps he’s one of those smooth operators Sade sang about.
Woman’ by Canadian/Danish duo Rhye has all the hallmarks of a hipster essential (black’n’white artwork, R&B influences) but the majority of it could just as easily appeal to those who buy Downton Abbey box-sets.
It all comes across as fairly overwrought, working very hard to sound effortless and losing its sense of self in the process.
hora de mais uma review surpresa! dessa vez do Rhye.
a primeira vez que eu conheci ele foi em, advinhem, 2015 mas pra mim ele foi um dos artistas que mais marcaram essa época na real. o álbum é de soul, alternative rnb com elementos de sophisti-pop.
esse álbum ao meu ver é mto doce, um álbum mto relaxante e leve. com uma melodia lenta mas sofisticada, o álbum é charmoso, sexy e amoroso ao meu ver. o instrumental de certa capta a ... read more
Mike Milosh has one of the most beautiful voices I've heard in my entire life, and Robin Hannibal's simplistic but elegant production pairs perfectly with what Milosh has to offer. This is an amazing debut project.

Some of the loveliest vocals put to record that I've ever heard. When it comes together with the melodies it is, at times, a glorious experience. That being said, some songs are better produced and written than others.
A beautiful, soulful album that is an incredibly smooth listen. The vocals are lush and the production is beautiful too. I wanted a bit more from it, but what it delivers is still very enjoyable
