Oct 30, 2014Even as Vindahl's production dazzles, Ørsted stands up to the crush.
-
Mar 21, 2014Impulsive, instinctive and infectious, the eccentric and emotional Ørsted walks an enchanting tightrope.
-
Mar 10, 2014With No Mythologies To Follow, MØ has established herself within an emerging circle of powerful pop dominatrixes but with her own distinct sound full of versatility and vitality.
-
Mar 10, 2014Hardly a cookie-cutter pop voice, she’s brash but not abrasive and can be sultry without being hammy. Those songs showcase the versatility of her croon, while also updating the pop ballad form with Vindhahl’s metallic, glitchy production.
-
Mar 10, 2014The energy of this debut is tangible.
-
Mar 10, 2014No Mythologies to Follow is perhaps better taken as a really strong collection of singles (or potential singles) than a complete body of work, but that’s its only real weakness.
-
Mar 11, 2014No Mythologies To Follow is a solid record, one that features a slightly older and more thoughtful MØ. It should make any fan of pop music look forward to what’s to come next from this gifted artist.
-
Mar 12, 2014MØ might have just released the freshest, most joyful pop record of 2014 (even if we heard most of it in 2012-3).
-
Mar 11, 2014While “Never Wanna Know” might divide, other moments are harder to dismiss.
-
Mar 10, 2014Although it makes no apologies for the bits and pieces it takes from her contemporaries, No Mythologies to Follow doesn't work because it assembles the right ingredients in the right amount--it works because a likable persona is something you just can't teach.
-
Mar 10, 2014Ørsted’s debut LP wears its history heavily, composed of equal parts previously released and new material. It is a risk for an artist as dependent on earworm shock value as Ørsted, but a deliberate one that yield dividends at the end of the day.
-
Mar 10, 2014The saturated levels of Scandinavian pop and the mounting pressure on such artists' first albums all could've worked against Karen Ørsted here, but No Mythologies To Follow remains dynamic and expressive enough to work past these blocks and hint at very, very bright things.
-
Mar 10, 2014More often than not, though, Mø lets her eclectic influences percolate at their own pace, and the slinky guitar lines of Maiden are a perfect example of how hypnotic she can be.
-
Mar 10, 2014Her debut is an accomplished, glossily shimmering thing.
-
Mar 10, 2014MØ’s debut LP is an exquisite collection of synthpop, dance and gushing, heartfelt emotions.
-
Mar 27, 2014Youthful determination never sounded so sweet.
