Jun 30, 2015This album is full of emotive and nuanced performances, the aches of her heart resonating powerfully. However, the sheen and the bombast of much of the production reeks not just of a kind of entitlement, but of desperation.

Jun 30, 2015The LP's gospel-flavored synth-pop is invitingly adventurous, but Williams can't hold the space like her touchstones here.
