    Oh Land's international debut is an eclectic, nocturnal mix of club music, dance, and electro-pop.

    The tilting scales of light and dark give the collection a definite creep factor and a clever complexity.

    Oh Land's cinematic arrangements bring Janelle Monáe's ambitious approach to pop music to mind, but tracks like "Wolf & I" and "Lean" draw a bit too heavily from the trip-hop playbook (it doesn't help that Fabricius sounds a lot like Björk) and, however well-excecuted they may be, end up sounding derivative.

    This stunning Dane's synths-plus-strings slant on singer-songwriter lovesickness offers refinement over innovation, yet Nanna Øland Fabricius beguiles with a gently insistent presence.

    This is an almost flawless album. The score starts out with an aptly titled track "Perfection", and the then it sets out to accomplish justThis is an almost flawless album. The score starts out with an aptly titled track "Perfection", and the then it sets out to accomplish just that. There are so many highlights on this album that a track by track critique is pointless. The absolute most incredible song from this album is "Wolf And I" - Simply a masterpiece. Oh Land may be the next best artist out there. This album goes against what is commercial pop, but some how it sounds like the a mega pop hit for an alternate universe. It sounds like a game changer, even if it falls on deaf ears. The only misfortune on the album is "Vodoo" which sounds to familiar to LaRouX, but with the album ending on such a high point with the swooning 'Rainbow' you feel as if you've had a five course meal including desert and then cigar.

    álbum com estruturas para ser um sucesso, que infelizmente não foi.
    Oh Land conseguiu fazer uma das melhores músicas que escutei na minha vida "Perfection".
    Assim como a música, ela conseguiu unir sua doce voz com batidas contagiantes e envolventes, não tem como não se apaixonar com esse álbum.
