    Megan Thee Stallion’s talents are a moveable feast – she sounds as at home snarling over the minimal 80s gangsta rap of Girls in the Hood as she does with Beyoncé’s voice weaving around hers on Savage Remix.

    ‘Good News’ is a triumph, and a late contender for Album Of The Year.

    Good News showcases Megan the Stallion’s creative depth, her euphonious inventiveness, and libidinous wordplay.

    While Megan Thee Stallion presented herself as a force to be reckoned with from her earliest material, Good News finds her triple-X-rated sex rhymes, imposing charm, and ability to make it all appear effortless reaching new levels.

    Her party-girl braggadocio feels more nuanced by recent tragedy. Yes, listeners are blasted with sex-positive bangers that bounce from wall-to-wall, like the infectious "Body," which will surely be gentrified by White TikTok in the coming days, but these moments are made human next to moments like "Circles" where she reflects on recent trauma.

    Megan’s own flow is musical enough to offer its own hooks without outside ornamentation. A track like “Body” shows Megan’s pop strengths as she stretches the title into a stream of ody-ody-odys so bouncy you can practically see booties popping to the beat.

    While Megan is still figuring herself out stylistically, she’s undeniably in touch with herself. Throughout Good News, Megan doesn’t spend all that much time referencing her beloved alter egos: the pimp persona of Tina Snow, the lustful Hot Girl, and the relatable Suga. Rather, she coalesces qualities of each in her lyricism and delivery, suggesting that the mask is off and she’s being wholly, 100% herself.

    Megan's flow and energy on the mic is beyond that of most rappers this early into their career, and on Good News she flourishes her skillsetMegan's flow and energy on the mic is beyond that of most rappers this early into their career, and on Good News she flourishes her skillset showing off higher-budget sounds to play with. Most tracks hit in a quick, 2-3 minute manner where they strike sonically almost as quick as they simply end, making standouts very easy to replay and low points even easier to avoid or forget. This may not be a full step of evolution artistically and musically, but for one of the most consistent in the genre it's another notch to the belt.… Expand

    I really love Meg, but with the songs that came to us I expected a more powerful album, not counting the singles only half the album can be a Hit
