    Three strong songs. But all others pale version of Britney mixed with Avrile Lavigne. I can’t believe that people are still not bored of these predictable tunes she delivers.

    Demasiado sobrevalorado para lo que es, en cuanto a vocals deja mucho que desear y la producción no es de la mejor.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A pure and exquisite pop, each song follows a sure line showing distinction from each other. The influence of pop from the 2000s is quite clear.… Expand

    Acelera e falta combustível no meio do caminho, com lestras vazias e melodias que não saem do lugar

    I consider this album to be very overrated. I find it very basic and bad. My honest opinion is that the album is bad, basic, and it is the same that you find in any artist, the songs on this album I find not very enjoyable, besides that it is somewhat boring. However, I must clarify that the album is fine, some tracks are good (but I repeat) they are very basic. This album is bad and II consider this album to be very overrated.

    This is absolutely fire. Rina kills it with her vocals, blended with amazing choices for production on every song on this album. From the build-up on Dynasty, to her sampling her prior work in 10-20-40 and Take Me As I Am on Rina in F*** This World (Interlude), she does no wrong on this album and it's an amazing listen whether it be the first time listening or the enthh time listening.

    Arte de combinar los sonidos en una secuencia temporal atendiendo a las leyes de la armonía, la melodía y el ritmo, o de producirlos con instrumentos musicales.

    On this stunning debut, Sawayama captures Dua Lipa's future nostalgia and Poppy's metal-meets-pop savvy, rightfully making it her own with more depth, bigger thrills, and a limitless palette.

    SAWAYAMA appears poised to be one of the best pop albums of the year and sets Sawayama up as a pop force to be reckoned with.

    The album is a complicated picture of Swayama’s past, present, and future. It is rare to see a debut album with such a fully realized voice and vision behind it. What’s more, she exorcises her personal demons amid some of the year’s best dancefloor-filling pop.
