    Panorama proves that Kiyoko isn’t limited to any 2018 zeitgeist. There are nods to her older sound, sure, but the matured production and continued experiments show that she’s not out to recreate Expectations – she’s growing from it.

    It's just a solid album. I'm so tired of reading reviews from old white cis straight man. Like stop being so petty. She did great job!
