    Despite its ambitious production, the project lacks uniqueness. At least now we know what is "the beast" uhm...

During the last few years, Kim Petras has tried to get rid of the "promising singer to rise" label, but this work doesn't exactly help her to show her true personality or to define herself as an artist, as it's full of generic songs that could belong to any current white pop singer like Ava Max, Rita Ora or Zara Larsson. Within “Feed the Beast” we find dancing and fun songs but as a whole we aren't facing a memorable work that will be part of the lists of the best of the year.… Expand

    Of course, even the weaker songs have their dance-floor potential. Petras is, above all else, a pure fan of pop music and the feeling it exudes. But in chasing her new status as the type of pop star who has Top 40 potential, she abandoned the freakishly forward-thinking personality that built her a base to begin with. Here, the beast has been tamed.
