    Raven is full of powerful earworms that mobilise every inch of soul and flesh. [Feb 2023, p.52]

    Brimming with synth undercurrents, transfluid melodies, and delightfully jarring production shifts, Raven is a transfixing ode to human connection, interpersonal communication, and Black femininity.

    Raven's unstructured, experimental feel may be unsettling for some, but the project's only other downside is that eventually, it ends.
