Jun 27, 2022Released from both internal and external shackles, Muna feels like phase two for one of pop’s best bands.
-
Jun 22, 2022From its overall sound down to its finer details, Gavin, Maskin and McPherson have hit the mark completely. It’s amazing to see a band that are so unapologetically queer excel at their craft and create an album that is quite possibly, if not certainly, their masterpiece.
-
Jun 24, 2022They're offering something new with 'MUNA' - evolving, inspiring, and taking us along for the [horse] ride.
-
Jun 22, 2022It’s by far the happiest MUNA have sounded; a celebratory expression of queer love that loses none of the trio’s magic.
-
Jun 24, 2022The album is both consistently breezy and emotionally upfront, going to-and-fro between galvanising dance anthems and gentle, psychedelic country ballads à la Kacey Musgrave’s Golden Hour.
-
Jun 23, 2022By now, it should be clear that this lot know how to pen a whopper of a pop anthem – that remains apparent here – but more crucially ‘MUNA’ also serves as solid evidence of a band with many more chapters of evolution up their sleeves yet.
-
Jul 12, 2022While the rest of the record never quite reaches that level of instantaneous pop gratification [as "Silk Chiffon"], Muna still turn in some of their better songs from there while also taking their sound to new places.

Jun 25, 2022Definitely their best album. Pop perfection on its best shape. Synth-pop, electro-pop, country and pop-rock, all combined masterfully. Brilliant.
