Jan 12, 2015Altogether, the contributions of long-term Sullivan associates like Harmony, Salaam Remi, and Ant Bell, along with those from Key Wane and JoeLogic & Dilemma, give the album a relatively contemporary feel. Just as potent and lasting as Fearless and Love Me Back, Reality Show completes one of the most impressive first-three-album runs.
-
Jan 30, 2015Sullivan, better than singers and songwriters in almost any genre, creates worlds where relationships take on more complex dynamics, but are immediate in their effect.
-
Jan 29, 2015Some trendy lite disco and uplifting, singalong hooks give her voice more to compete with and play up the universality of experience, but Sullivan sounds better the more specific she gets.
-
Jan 28, 2015Sullivan’s long time away from music has given her a new outlook on life and Reality Show is all the better because of it. Her excellence bleeds into songwriting and production while her crooning is as good as ever.
-
Jan 13, 2015As concept and program, Sullivan's best album to date boasts every curtain call and lighting effect designed to flatter its star.
-
Jan 12, 2015Playing a woman too often scorned, she comes out victoriously soulful.
-
Jan 12, 2015With Reality Show, Sullivan delivers an R&B album that feels like how R&B used to sound circa late 90's/early 2000 while still coming off as forward-looking.
-
Jan 12, 2015Part of what makes her new album, Reality Show, so remarkable is how often it dares to foreground her pen over her pipes.
-
Jan 20, 2015Reality Show is neck-in-neck [with Love Me Back] in terms of quality, but Sullivan’s latest feels a lot more current—which should make it easier for the public to relate to.
