Jan 28, 2022Motordrome is a multifaceted delight and an early contender for pop album of the year.
-
Jan 28, 2022On ‘Motordrome’ she returns fresh and reinvigorated. No longer simply living to survive, MØ is having fun being herself.
-
Jan 27, 2022These are songs for dark evenings in big cities, dancing through heartbreak. For when you feel small, but anything feels possible.
-
Feb 4, 2022At its best, Motordrome serves as a reminder of why she deserved that success, and why she still deserves attention today.
-
Jan 27, 2022‘Motordrome’ can be hit and miss. ... That being said, there’s a huge amount to recommend here. A clinical, finessed pop record, ‘Motordrome’ utilises its 10 track span to broach a number of fresh ideas.
-
Feb 2, 2022In her raw, rollicking delivery, MØ does sound comfortable in her skin again, giving the lyric a genuinely openhearted turn. Motordrome occasionally passes through such exhilarating moments, but faceless production too often spins its wheels, making it seem as though MØ is still in search of a sound to match the bravado.
-
Jan 31, 2022Mø’s new-era singles thus far have been earworms – the euphoric Live to Survive, the Ed Sheeran-like Kindness, the more recent electronic ballad Goosebumps. The remainder of Motordrome mostly maintains this hit rate.
-
Jan 27, 2022Stand-out moments grab you with their humour – the immensely memorable hooks on show certainly help, too – but after ‘Motordrome’’s fizzled out, you’re left wishing the engines revved a little louder.
-
Jan 27, 2022MØ crafts consistently cool grooves but nothing that makes her stand out from the crowd.
-
Jan 27, 2022When Ørsted ramps up the bombast, Motordrome reaches a serviceable level of pop pageantry. But most of the singer’s cooed melodies feel comparatively half-hearted. Ultimately, the album has a way of getting your attention and failing to keep it.
