    On Art Angels, we hear that high art experimentation fall into mainstream territory with only fleeting moments of brilliance.

    Packed as it is with all this goodness, Art Angels fails to comprehensively blow your mind. Ultimately, Grimes has not reinvented the pop wheel, she’s just driven it off road a little.

A ascensão synth pop de Grimes, com toques county, sem deixar de lado seu experimentalismo, formando uma mistura perfeita, e maravilhosa de se ouvir. Com duas participações mais que perfeitas, posso dizer que o Art Angels está entre uns dos melhores álbuns desse ano.… Full Review »
