Feb 6, 2020As an exercise in reclaiming control, in setting out her stall, it is a definite success, a hand-made pop exercise in an era dominated by algorithmic marketing plans. As a listening experience, though, it’s somewhat limited and frustratingly repetitive, ultimately paling next to La Roux’s previous heights.
-
Feb 6, 2020It’s all largely inoffensive and wholly listenable. Which is fine, but we’ve come to expect more from La Roux.
-
MojoFeb 6, 2020There are sublime moments - International Women Of Leisure, for instance, and Do You Feel, a homage to first ladies of disco songwriting such as Evelyn King and Gwen Guthrie - but other tracks, though taut and tight, become repetitive. [Mar 2020, p.92]
-
Feb 7, 2020Supervision is at times frustrating – an avoidable misstep here, an overindulgence there. But it also contains some of La Roux’s best music to date, music that’s witty, danceable and endearing all in one.
-
Q MagazineFeb 11, 2020The LP's monotonous back half leaves Jackson running to stand still. [Apr 2020, p.111]
-
Feb 6, 2020Supervision is certainly not a bad album, but it’s a far cry from the bristling pop genius of Jackson’s best work.
-
Feb 6, 2020On her third, La Roux shows that she can write a melody like few others in the business today, but it’s hard to look past how similar each song really is.
-
Feb 6, 2020Overall, there's a real sense that La Roux is on autopilot, resulting in a ‘samey’ sound that struggles to hold the listener’s attention.
