- Mar 4, 2026By reshaping the packaging of her thoughts and anxieties, West hasn’t swapped her lyrics for carefree, blissed-out pop anthems about a wonderful life. ‘Heaven 2’ and its outlier single ‘Arrow’, along with its music video, show that even under high-energy pop rhythms, you can still find yourself dancing alone in a parking lot at night.
- Mar 9, 2026Somewhere between fight, flight, and acceptance, these songs squint at great cosmic mysteries through a tiny pair of sunglasses.
- Mar 4, 2026When West writes like that—concrete, tactile, a little bit strange—you can feel the difference immediately; the detail gives the production something to grip (even when the production there might itself be less interesting than at other points on the record) and the songs stop floating and start finding purchase. But even where individual songs blur, the record’s broader arc holds shape.
- Mar 4, 2026It’s a shame that the album’s most interesting elements – an earthy, freeing saxophone from longtime collaborator Sen Morimoto, and snatches of rusted, metallic electronics – are often confined to a track’s final moments.
- MojoMar 4, 2026West's intimations of mainstream modern pop sit alongside the less direct and impressionistic. [Mar 2026, p.89]
