REOL has new hair / EP

2021-12-19 by Album Rating: 3.5 sputnik has become a cesspool of miserable old men who can't handle bands changing up their sound anymore. that and posers who are unable to find their own voice and enjoyment. STAFF | 9 Comments
Japanese electro-pop sensation and vocaloid inspiration REOL has released her second minialbum (read: EP) The Sixth Sense, available as of Dec. 15th.

The release is reasonably solid and very much welcome, but it comes as a disorienting reminder of the apparent retirement of her once-iconic white-dyed bob, visible at various lengths across the majority of her discography.

The EP's artwork, displaying a pinker sheen and dark-dipped ends, seems to coincide with the title-track, originally rolled out last July; since that time, her colour palette has shifted on a practically monthly basis, culminating in a dark-streaked red look visible in the most recent video for "Boy".

Along with The Sixth Sense's somewhat piecemeal blend of styles (symptomatic of its singles-compilation approach), this suggests that REOL is in search of a new edge. Perhaps she will find it soon. That is all.
