In his debut album, the ex-Brockhampton member, Matt, delivers a collection of diverse ideas. "Mika's Laundry" is predominantly characterized by contemporary alt-pop elements that captivate the listener. Particularly noteworthy is the first half, which features eccentric and thrilling R&B and indietronica tracks. However, as the album progresses past the halfway point, less engaging singer-songwriter tracks emerge, leaving one questioning Matt's artistic choices. Matt shines brightest when he croons over expansive and experimental instrumentals, brimming with brightness. Conversely, attempts at a more contemporary singer-songwriter and bedroom pop aesthetic fall short. Despite this, "Mika's Laundry" presents much promise for a debut album, offering listeners ample reason for excitement.
