The Arts Desk
This deserves to be heard not just as a leftfield artist referencing more populist music, but as a brilliant, strange pop record in its own right

The title track is the album's most exceptional moment, a tumbling scramble of panning percussion, keyboards that flicker and glimmer, and Lanza's breathy, flirty voice

What distinguishes Jessy Lanza as a songwriter is this ability to craft deeper meaning without the furnishing of symbols, and little in the way of direct references to the outside world all the while never sacrificing boogieability
