Going into this, my expectations were low. I noticed it was a pop record so I wasn’t expecting a whole lot of creativity or originality, but I was pleasantly surprised. Empress Of has something special that I can’t put my finger on. Her vocals - while not too distinct - are gorgeous and have a pretty large range. There are so many little quirky production choices that pay off and make what are originally standard pop tunes much more interesting.

There’s nothing game changing about it but it’s a nice little synthy pop indie record. The vocals could be better but the production is top notch. Songwriting is okay for what it is.
Best track: Pirouette

A bit all over the place stylistically but the themes of desire for love & belonging bring it all together. Yves comes right out of the gate with 2 bangers and things do get a bit more tame as it goes along but there’s no real loss of emotional potency.
Best tracks: Gospel for a new century, medicine burn, kerosene!, Romanticist, Super Stars
Worst track: Strawberry Privelege (still ok)!

I really love the hook but its hard to tell if Drake is passionate about the dance or if he is just corporately engineered to create this inevitable super-hit for 14 year olds on Tik Tok.

Some of these melodies feel forced, the production is rough around the edges and I was shocked to find that the singing here and there just is not very good. However, Thundercat still triumphs to provide a decent set of tracks here with the standouts being Dragonball Durag, Fair Chance (even though the Lil B feature almost ruined it) and It Is What It Is.
