    The collection ebbs and flows steadily, and it’s undeniably sleek in its vintage Americana-style production. Some songs leave the listener gagging for more, as Savior flexes masterful lyrics, effortless style and poise. This is a timeless collection.

    Like Hope Sandoval, Savior's smoky timbre is cucumber-cool rather than over-emotive. [Feb 2020, p.86]

    Savior is a commanding narrator of heartache and revenge, singing of blood and tears over piano and reverb-drenched guitar, demonstrating a star quality that belies her 24 years. [Feb 2020, p.33]

    Her crystalline, sparse voice shines on melancholic but dreamy break-up songs and dark, cinematic tracks. [Feb 2020, p.115]

    As for now, it is one of the best albums of 2020, absolutely. Sounds similar to last year's "Blood" by Kelsey Lu, soft-rock, dream pop. Masterpiece.

    Beautiful album! With all due respect, I didn't think she would be better without Alex Turner but she clearly is

Great ballads and great psychedelic (?) songs. I've had it on repeat for so long. I love it. "But You" is by far the best song. It's actually one of the best songs I've listened to in a while. And the production in "Saving Grace" and "Howl" are pretty mesmerising. I wish the album was longer.… Expand

    La producción es increíble y la voz de Savior acompaña muy bien cada nota.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Desde su debut se notaba un increíble potencial, el cual creo que se perdió entre tanta producción de los grandes focos que representaba Turner y Ford, pero en este no es así, se siente todo de manera mas intima, un encuentro cercano con el artista, que si bien es cierto deja un aire de Del Rey al final del álbum, mas el resto es un viaje totalmente placentero al oído, no cabe duda que desde el inicio melancólico hasta el final poético es maravilloso, Send Her Back es la mejor a mi criterio, pese a la gran Can't help Myself.… Expand
