    A very disappointing project, it’s been over a decade since she’s dropped an project and this is what she comes back with? none of the songs were as lyrical as her past work, and the lead track is horrific and unlike missy to drop something as horrible as that.

    Elliot is undeniably an icon, an innovator and one of the most talented artists of her generation. But after a classic string of albums in the late 90’s and early aughts, she took a long break in her career. Her return is... underwhelming. A boring opener, with cheap sounding beats, and a sleepy sounding Elliot set the tone for the rest of this EP. Boring, uninventive and often just plainElliot is undeniably an icon, an innovator and one of the most talented artists of her generation.

A boring opener, with cheap sounding beats, and a sleepy sounding Elliot set the tone for the rest of this EP. Boring, uninventive and often just plain terrible, the only highlight is a slow burner featuring Sum1, where, unfortunately Elliot seems to fade into the background. Add in some awful production from Timbaland, and intensely irritating autotune/melodyne and you have one of the biggest disappointments of the year.… Expand

    Demasiado básico, de Missy se espera algo innovador, pero nos da este bodrio lleno de relleno. Pésimo. Por esto y muchas cosas más. Kim, Minaj, Latifah, Foxy >>>>>> esta aburrida

    ICONOLOGY is a good placeholder while fans wait for the next chapter of Elliott's brilliance, but overall seems truncated and undercooked.

    Iconology is Missy's welcomed returned and a hopeful teaser for upcoming projects.

    It settles for the safe and familiar. Throw it back.
