Feb 15, 2023I really don't get it, I feel like my time has been wasted. Seems to take influence from 'hold' music, but it's no Opus No 1.

Feb 15, 2023It's a good album, but not THAT good. She just created an album that sounds exactly like her first one. I get it, is her thing, bust i was expecting something new (and better). Too much expectation and time waiting for something that i already have heard.

May 2, 2023Meh..it’s not for me i think but the album cover is cool…so yeah that’s it.

Feb 22, 2023Ever year has that bad album who every people wish was good. Just basic pop music.

May 30, 2023This is a very, very poor imitation of Imogen Heap.
Do none of you ever listen to music older than a month and recognize plagiarism when you hear it? -
Feb 25, 2023Too many screams and overrated album. I don't see the point in it, it sounds too weird.

Mar 31, 2023With Desire, I Want to Turn into You, Polachek breaks free from outside expectations and transforms her inner anxieties into an intoxicating pop euphoria.
-
Mar 8, 2023She delivers an effortless balance between ambition and accessibility, offering a record that is both a deeply layered work of art and full of euphoric escapist joy. Even though it is still early in the year, Desire, I Want to Turn Into You is already a strong contender for the best pop album of 2023.

Feb 28, 2023Both Welcome to My Island and I Believe are true pop bangers, and Smoke has an arrestingly powerful bassline that melds beautifully with her shimmering voice. Still, there are enough missteps for my palate that keep this squarely in the “just fine” column and keep me scratching my head about its overall reception.
