    With huge artists such as Lizzo, Dua Lipa, Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice, and Billie Eilish you go into this album knowing it'll be full of fun upbeat bops and deep meaningful songs. Pink by Lizzo was a really fun song and really fit the movie in the particular scene it was made for, Speed Drive by Charli XCX is another example of fitting the moment perfectly.

I generally enjoyed all of the songs and think that you should see the movie before critiquing this album negatively. My only complaint is the length of some songs being very short.… Expand

    Barbie: The Album is a celebration as colorful and uplifting as the movie itself, and both are highly recommended.

    The only dud is GAYLE’s ‘butterflies’, which does nothing more than showcase the record’s corporate origins. Sampling a Y2K hit would have surely looked good on paper at some point; in reality it’s a confused mish-mash of sounds, the sample appearing as an add-on, the newcomer without the star power of her peers here to hint lyrically at anything of note. That aside, life in plastic does indeed sound fantastic.

    We get some huge heavy hitters who do very good-to-great work. But the record sinks into pink slush during the so-so-filler tracks. Although there are some fantastic high points and some tacky low points, Barbie: The Album still manages to pull through with a cheeky victory, even if it’s qualified.
