Tkay Maidza?s newest album after her blow-up with the 2020 stellar second installment of her EP series ?Last Year Was Weird? shows her trying to reach the same highs as that EP but without the comfort of a short listening experience of an EP. ?Sweet Justice? is an amalgamation of ideas that she has been known for up to this point. From the chillstep influences on the intro track ?Love and Other Drugs?, the 2000?s neo-soul glimmer of ?Won One?, or the hybrid trap bass of ?Free Throws?, Tkay gives you a lot of different styles. This is where the biggest flaws are, ?Sweet Justice? is a hot mess stylistically. She seems to be throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. This listening experience is solid from front to back, but the execution leaves me wanting more. Plus the amount of influences she is wearing on her sleeves can be a bit distracting.
