| 3.2 good | Erwann S. STAFF | December 18th 23 |
My 21 Century Blues features everything the industry you'd need in a debut: a giga-popular single, personal lyrics that yet appeal to everyone, and a blend of pop, r&b, and rap that is indeed very zeitgeisty. What isn't zeitgeisty is its length (47mins lol this ain't the nineties), which hinders the experience due to an alright-at-best middle section.

For such a dud of a week, the debut album from UK-based artist Rachel Keen showcases a lot of potential for what could be an expansive and measuring career fusing the likes of RnB/soul with some grimy UK-style beats and bars. ?My 21st Century Blues? is a heartfelt and conscious record that showcases Rachel?s ability to both sing as well as rap which goes a long way in today's landscape of popular music. With that said you can definitely find some dull moments on here, especially on the back half of the record with some of the more one-dimensional tracks like ?Ice Cream Man? being a fairly dry RnB track, ?Flip a Switch? being a bland pop rap track, and even the last three tracks on the album in which Rachel runs out of steam. But there are some true highlights and memorable moments littered throughout the album and I cannot wait to see what she does with this set of ideas.
