    The focal point of the EP is the jaw-dropping "I Need You," a nearly ten-minute epic blending the type of lush, dreamy synths she's been known for with rough, forceful breakbeats, as well as her first vocal performance since her transition. ... The EP's other two songs aren't quite as emotional, but they're still highly enjoyable house tracks.

    With For Lovers, Octo Octa has delivered a set of tracks that are not only dance-floor-ready, but deeply personal and moving, creating a listening experience that is ultimately fulfilling and one that will be urging you to revisit it more than a few times.

    With vulnerability comes strength, and each Octo Octa record further builds a catalogue that serves as a rich, therapeutic memoir.

    For Lovers may be a very vulnerable, tender record for Octo Octa but it is a necessary one. These three tracks show a bold, confident artist who possesses an emotional freedom not heard before in her work. Far removed from anything she has done before, it's the sound of an artist clearing the way to follow whatever direction she chooses next.
