Jul 11, 2024This is a record that stands up well against the high bar set by her debut in both scope and ambition.
-
Jul 12, 2024At its best, Big Ideas jostles with brilliant songcraft that signifies her rapid growth as an artist—if the essential aesthetic is little changed, the execution is often warmer, more mature and expansive.
-
Jul 11, 2024It’s a record that – while injected with a healthy dose of groovy fun – is keenly honest. And although it may be sonically sugar-coated, Wolf’s candid lyrics never are. It’s funk-fuelled catharsis.
-
Jul 11, 2024While Big Ideas could be accused of being uneven, filler is a matter of personal genre preference here, left turns that are fun or even funny dominate, and with a closer like the helium-voiced disco entry "Slay Bitch," any remaining scolds should be few and far between.
-
Jul 12, 2024Big Ideas may never quite meet the sum of its parts, but Remi Wolf’s formidable technical confidence, innovative spirit and singular ability to navigate pop music trends without the impulse to pander make her incredibly exciting to listen to.
-
Jul 18, 2024Big Ideas plays like an eclectic compilation of scattered thoughts from her journal. Songs grapple with big questions but offer few answers.

Jul 12, 2024It’s a slight but enjoyable record. Wolf’s influences are often so legible that it’s hard not to listen and play a game of spot-the-reference.
