Reviews
Included in Rolling Stone's "The 50 Best Albums of 2019" -- "With this stunning effort, Eilish promised to keep scaring -- and seducing -- us for years to come.", "Here, Eilish draws equally from pop, trap and punk to construct a haunting dance-floor lucid dream that is at turns wicked, gorgeous and sarcastic...", "Her music, songs that emphatically encapsulate teenage angst for an existential era, is very much of this period as well.", "The debut album from the meteoric pop star lives in a world of its own: gothic, bass-heavy, at turns daring and quite beautiful.", "This record is a complex presence, bewitching and obscure, with several stunning twists and turns, taking you on a journey through her dark and angst-ridden mind.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "As the 14 tracks whittle along, that elusive and definable ‘sound’ starts to show itself. It’s remarkably agile; ‘Xanny’, a three-part soundclash, is perhaps the best example of the sonic palette that’s dipped into.", "Her stunning vocals are only amplified on genre-bending tracks that balance dark elements with playful ones that established her signature sound.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "It's an album full of dressed-down avant-pop with D.I.Y. immediacy and intimacy that can still hold its own amid Top 40 maximalists like Ariana Grande and Halsey. Eilish’s sound is hyper-modern, but still feels classic...", "The preternaturally old-souled L.A. native proved to be her own kind of drug -- a master of hypnotic grumpy-cat songcraft."
