    I really try to like her, but there is just something about her music that falls flat because she doesn't have a good way of articulating her music. Instead, it sounds like she found something to **** about, jammed a bunch of words into a verse and had some producers come in and put kooky electronics and static in it to make something completely void of accessible comprehension.

She may have a lot to say, but I didn't feel anything towards the end except a feeling that I just don't like her style, her voice or her songwriting and that whatever she was trying to say got lost in this mess.… Expand

    Com a intenção de continuar seguindo o mesmo caminho de Hopelessness, Paradise vem como algo um tanto forte e difícil de ser aceito por quem se apaixonou pelo álbum de estréia da cantora ANOHNI.

    The music is melancholic, urgent, enveloping. After more than a decade, her tightly controlled croon has lost none of its flinching effect to communicate shock and smoldering rage. Aside from sparking urgency and indignation, it evokes feelings the other side could use: humility, and shame.

    Overall, Paradise is a safe bridge from HOPELESSNESS, where the singer is able to express herself in another wide collection of musical manifestos.
