    Her rapping/singing is insightful, stroppy and hilarious. [Oct 2008, p.96]
  2. Mojo

    An impressive debut. [Nov 2008, p.109]
  3. Drawing from a seemingly inexhaustible supply of sass, Coppola wraps her laid-back vocals around narratives that are innovative yet accessible, resulting in one of the most promising pop debuts 2008 is likely to see.
  4. Entertainment Weekly

    Her attitide is occasionally a touch too self-satisfied, but tthat's a small price to pay for such an abundance of sparkling snark. [18 Jul 2008, p.65]
  5. Her songwriting is modern and quick-tongued, as she casually glides between sassy singing and melodic rapping. She handles syllables, rhymes and ideas far more skillfully than her liaisons.
  6. On this excellent debut by her new duo with programmer Adam Pallin, Imani Coppola sounds no more interested in sticking to a single style than she usually does.
  7. 80
    ­This endearing debut from Imani Coppola’s latest side project deftly explores the ferocious singer’s favorite themes--race, two-timers, herself--over programmer Adam Pallin’s sprightly soul interpolations.

    This album has a great flow. Upbeat, lots of old school throwbacks, good beats.

    Excellent. Coppola usually hops from genre to genre but here she settles down on one sound and it works very well. I do hope her next album Excellent. Coppola usually hops from genre to genre but here she settles down on one sound and it works very well. I do hope her next album is something completely different, though. Full Review »
