    Forcing a similar style [as heard on All We Grow] through a filter of laptop presets and masked vocals only highlights how those convenient, but more limited, tools require tighter songwriting than Carey musters up on Hoyas.

    Hoyas sounds slick, monochromatic and even a bit stale.

    Hoyas doesn't lack depth, but it's over-simplified. It's a hesitant musical effort, and quite forgettable when compared to Carey's debut, All We Grow.
