3.3 greatErwann S. STAFF | December 29th 23

Bailey Rae delivers one hell of a comeback that, unfortunately, offers too many styles at once without nailing the coherence an album experience requires. Individually, all these tracks are great, but they make little sense when put one after the other.

3.5 greatajcollins15 | September 21st 23

There are definitely a lot of risks Corinne takes on her new album. For one she takes a leap into various shades of art pop and jazz music. Whether that comes from straight vocal jazz ballads like ?Peach Velvet Sky? or with avant-grade saxophone and drums on ?Black Rainbow?. But not only that she also grabs at some heavy-sounding garage rock revival like ?Erasure? and ?New York Transit Queen?. With that, she also pulls off some expansive and encompassing straight art pop and rock tracks like on ?Earthlings?. However, with all this experimentation and risk comes a potpourri effect making the listening experience really disjointed at points. Still, this is definitely a step in many new directions for Corinne and I can?t wait to see what she does in the future because she is playing with a lot here.
