    Though Thalassa does not capture the most positive of emotions, Gika reassures her listeners that sometimes feeling something--even anger and sadness--is better than feeling nothing.

    Thalassa breaks ranks from what has been the norm for Gika and introduces a new scope for the singer. The main attribute of the record is its delicate and subtle manifestation, highlighted both through the instrumentation and arrangement.

    Even if the lyrical references to Greek mythology are a little nebulous, she's already created a world we believe in. [May 2019, p.29]

    Thalassa ebbs and flows with ideas and sounds like its name-sake would suggest. Take a deep dive in to its depths and sink in.

    Because she never fully commits to one mood or genre, it is difficult to feel fully immersed. Gika’s songwriting is sometimes too vague to resonate emotionally, and her delivery, though gorgeous, never feels fully unencumbered.
