May 8, 2020A record that is as self-aware of the pressures of romance and stardom as it is a bare, naked representation of the singer’s heart and soul.
-
May 7, 2020The album's arrangement of serenading beats and jazzy undertones has genuinely proven that Kehlani is a force to be reckoned with.
-
May 28, 2020Although there are some clumsy similes and metaphors, and a surplus of astrological references, its lyricism is undeniable, abundant in pithy rebukes and come-ons. And while the predominantly crawling tempos can have a tranquilizing effect, there's nuance to nearly every cut with high-level songwriting to match.

May 11, 2020She’s becoming an increasingly agile performer, rapping, singing, and everything in between. It Was Good Until It Wasn’t channels all those skills into sterling R&B that feels like a homecoming of sorts.

May 22, 2020It Was Good Until It Wasn’t‘s back half will earn respect from core fans for its consistency, muddling the notion Kehlani played it safe with this one.

May 13, 2020A record that doesn’t always astound but has a fair few enjoyable moments, and some very effective vocal performances.

Jun 8, 2020Kehlani replaces any hint of controlled pop presence with a lowkey, gloomy vibe that doesn’t suit her strengths at all. Her raspy voice is now placed upon liquid synth bass and irritating trap production, leaving her songwriting to be the record’s only strength.

Kehlani is in her bag on this one. Trim this down 2-3 songs and it’s even higher up. -
