    A record that doesn’t always astound but has a fair few enjoyable moments, and some very effective vocal performances.

    Lacks the clever subtlety of innuendos on songs like "Can I" (featuring Tory Lanez) and "F&MU." "Bad News," "Everybody Business" and "Open (Passionate)" are the album's standouts, showcasing elements of Kehlani's strongest contributions to music thus far, and highlighting her ability to make vulnerability a strength.

    Sonically, it can blend a little into one, but the closing feature from the late rapper Lexii, a friend and collaborator of Kehlani’s, is a rousing, poignant end to a largely accomplished set.
  4. The dark and sexy new songs shine their brightest when coated with a layer of her previous sparkle; which makes the artist’s second album a fine but frustrating release.

    Kehlani replaces any hint of controlled pop presence with a lowkey, gloomy vibe that doesn’t suit her strengths at all. Her raspy voice is now placed upon liquid synth bass and irritating trap production, leaving her songwriting to be the record’s only strength.

    Simply incredible. Kehlani’s new music is undeniably refreshing and much more mature compared to her past projects. So proud to Stan such an icon!

    Kehlani’s new album fully reveals her, as one of the leading R&B performers, the singer’s voice perfectly combines with the piano and guitarKehlani’s new album fully reveals her, as one of the leading R&B performers, the singer’s voice perfectly combines with the piano and guitar in the arrangement of delicate beats, each composition smoothly flows into another, preventing the listener from falling into againthe bustle of the mortal world, joint compositions with Tory Lanez, Jhené Aiko, Masego, Lucky Daye, James Blake perfectly complement the solo component of the album. at the moment, this is one of the best works in the R&B-style, which can compete with Jhené Aiko's album "Chilombo".
