    Juno is bursting at the seams with pop idiosyncrasies, thirteen tracks of controlled chaos. ... It’s also a remarkably cohesive album.

    Charistmatically stepping onto the scene with an unmistakable presence in an era of reclaiming confidence is not an easy feat but Remi Wolf has delivered a debut that is powered by a true liveliness to be fun and real.

    It’s easy to get lost in the groove of Wolf’s music; perhaps you can find yourself there, too, and see the world in new bold colors.

    Wolf and producer Jared Solomon (a.k.a. Solomonophonic) pack every song with laugh-out-loud lyrics and confetti blasts of squelchy synth-funk, but for all the modern bedroom pop accoutrements, Juno's greatest strengths are the raw materials of melody and lyrics.

    There’s hardly a dull moment on this album.

    Although this first effort can be seen as the bridge between some of her collaborators, such as the projects of Wallows and Dominic Fike, Wolf is in her own universe, creating a new style of artistry that will inspire many others for the years yet to come.

    Accompanied with her scatter board samples and untold charm, ‘Juno’ is a resounding celebration of existence and Remi Wolf is the MC.

    Ultimately, what these songs leave is a feeling that, for all the album’s brilliant shine, experimenting with darker styles might not go amiss for what’s next.

    On her new full-length, Juno, she hones her scatterbrained Californian pop into an effervescent, hook-filled record that flirts with weighty emotions but often swerves for the safety of a joke.

    Remi has a wild personality. A lot of soul, R&b and freak-funk vibes that keep this beast of a record always moving. It's catchy, it's alsoRemi has a wild personality. A lot of soul, R&b and freak-funk vibes that keep this beast of a record always moving. It's catchy, it's also been mixed, mastered and created with perfection in mind. This album is colourful and damn right joyful.

    However, I kinda wish Remi had a little bit more bite in her. Anthony Ketis has this insanely gorgeous vocal melody that instantly asks for your attention (in fact it's probably one of my favourite songs of the year), but this joyful, angsty and downright funky high just isn't quite reached anywhere else on the album instead opting out for bedroom pop/disco. Frankly, I found everything else just not quite as good in comparison.

    this might not quite have been for me? Either way ill listen to whatever she puts out next. I'm excited to see what direction Remi decided to take this sound.    … Full Review »

    Remi always finds a way to let you in on the fun of her twisted and creative mind. Her sound is refreshing, and this album is a knock out of the park

Her eclectic sound has never been so polished and fleshed out. The album is nonstop bangers (though offers sections of reprieve like in Volkiano), which might seem exhausting but she cleverly fills the second half with some of her most emotional lyrics which build upon each other. My interest never waned from the album, absolutely transfixed to the unique sonic landscape of each track. There truly isn't a single thing I would change about the album.… Full Review »
