4.0 excellentBedex | May 22nd 21

I'll complete the soundoff later but tldr: while no song struck me as clearly as the ones on Essentials, this one doesnt yet have the benefit of time, and furthermore it comes out on top as a better constructed, more coherent and consistent record, where Essentials wasnt as well sequenced and has most of the favourites early on. This one remains true to her style, but adds some elements of its own, and I think it has a slight edge over LP1 as a record, so 4.1

3.7 greatErwann S. EMERITUS | May 27th 21

Sexy, sensual, sultry R&B building its recipe upon lyrical earnestness and real adult talk - none of that gen z bs - as well as on beats grabbing elements from garage, jungle, G-funk, and sophisti-pop. 2021 sexiest record, by far.

0.0 didnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | December 24th 21

Look, she clearly tries to very maturely portray themes that she has tightly gripped and understood, her stylistic choices compliment those choices well too. But her song-writing is just lacklustre, her vocals often cannot carry the song, and the lyrics are too on-the-nose with their message and wonky to resonate. It just feels like a try-hard.
