- Mar 10, 2026The Pleasure is Yours feels both timeless and current as the pair aim to honor Black musical traditions while carving out their unique sound.
- Mar 4, 2026A set of delightfully askew R&B.
- MojoMar 4, 2026GENA craft deliciously anachronistic R&B, rewiring the lushness and melodic complexity of '70s soul and funk for the post-Dilla era. [Apr 2026, p.91]
- The WireMar 4, 2026Its satisfying blend of genres amplifies the best of what both these artists have to offer. [Apr 2026, p.63]
- Mar 4, 2026It’s clear that the pleasure isn’t in the novelty of these two forces aligning. The pleasure is in the groove, in the quiet confidence of Liv.e and Riggins making such a curious record, in the way it sneaks up on you and commands your attention.
- Mar 4, 2026The Pleasure Is Yours absolutely delivers on its title: it will surely make any room its in a sweeter place for playing it. But its proof, too, that sometimes you can have too much of a good thing.
