    i like this album because i like bea in general but i’m a bit disappointed. i found it very weak lyrically, and there were a lot of repetitions and similarities to her older songs. kinda just feels like an extension of loveworm and space cadet :/

    Vocally, it is not solid. Lyrically, it can be crude [which makes it tolerable]. Sonically, it's a good start. This girl has a lot of potential to show and there are some songs to prove it; the production of "Back To Mars" and "Horen Sarrison" are very well. She's still finding her own identity, and I'm glad she didn't pursue the "death bed" fame because that song is pretty disappointing.Vocally, it is not solid.

    Fake It Flowers won’t blaze any new trails and beabadoobee is a far cry from a pioneer, but for a brief moment in the sun, her debut is both gratifying and immediate. There’s no reason not to bask in it.

    Taken all together, Fake It Flowers is a resoundingly confident and addictive debut from someone who sounds like she’s ready to take on the world.

    Just as judging the past from the present can be a fraught undertaking, weighing up the throwback 90s indie du jour by the standards of the decade itself is probably unfair too, but you wish Beabadoobee could muster a little more period-perfect surliness.
