  2. 8.5 |   The Quietus

    The whole of Childqueen was written, sung, played, produced and mixed by Bonet; she’s quite a force of nature. Or rather - with her ability to shape-shift from alien to deity to illustrious soul singer – she is a force of supernature

  4. 8.0 |   The 405

    The future is female, the power is matriarchal, and this is our sanctified book of hymns, put together through centuries of stubborn resistance and perpetual beatitude

    If her cinematic soundscape and remedial harmonies are anything to go by, I suggest packing a bag and grabbing your passport

  11. 6.0 |   Loud And Quiet
