    There’s nothing for Danilova to hide behind here, and having her so present throughout this album is breathtaking.

    More than a mere souvenir or stopgap, Versions is a sumptuous release that affirms both the increasingly unique and essential nature of Zola Jesus' music and the enduring genius of JG Thirlwell.
  4. 70
    A successful experiment, a great record in its own right, and (hopefully) a great primer for a subtly evolved next effort.

    The results are remarkably plangent and romantic.

    With Versions, Jesus achieves something her previous albums hadn't: She's created art so unobjectionable that it attains a kind of beige obscenity.
