    A pop debut of disciplined eccentricity and disarming force.

    Its 13 tracks are more versatile in lyrical depth and vocal flow than before and, when added to his trademark intensity, are proof that Mykki's moved to the next level.

    Despite the production being generally warmer and more harmonious than in her previous work, that tide of emotion still spins around a sprawling nucleus of anxiety-inducing bass, while the satisfying brashness of Blanco’s presence is mirrored in the record’s aggressive pop sensibility.

    One of the hardest and most consistent recent statements in US hiphop. [Oct 2016, p.48]

    On Mykki, her assertiveness never wavers, whether diving into top-shelf hedonism in the club bangers or keening to find love past carnality in the ballads.

    It’s a hazy journey, encompassing loss, disconnection, and disappointment, buoyed up by hard-hitting production and Mykki’s unrelenting desire for pleasure and connection.

    Blanco has always fallen slightly short in lyrical content and, although there are hints of depth and melancholy, on tracks like High School Never Ends and You Don’t Know Me, Mykki never quite goes deep enough.
