    Very diverse and versatile album. Megan was able to step out of her comfort zone and really deliver amazing songs in sounds she usually doesn’t venture in. Very proud of her!

    It was phenomenal. A truly outstanding album for us during these bad times with Covid and death all around this year. I would highly recommend it for the next person to bring your spirits and make you feel like you are that ****

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. .The album sounds like Wap on repeat, really this is not a great album, although the only thing that saves it is Savage but from there on out the album is the worst rap album making it clear that it will be one more fad.… Expand

    Still no versatility or creativity. Alter Egos are forced here, trying to fit in with what Nicki Minaj and Lil'Kim did SUCCESSFULLY on their albums, with Nicki having more success with alter egos respectively. She claims alter egos are here but... they all sound like Meg. None are distinguishable from another. Alter-Egos aren't about the lyrical content-they are about the changes from oneStill no versatility or creativity.

Alter-Egos aren't about the lyrical content-they are about the changes from one persona to another. If they all sound the same, there isn't any purpose in creating one is there?? Very repetitive and annoying at most. I think she bloated herself by adding "Suga" as a persona. Tina Snow was well enough.… Expand

    THE CREATIVTY!!!! Megan is a real life rapper, no doubt. From the versatility, to the lyricism, to the ferociousness, to the depth, to the production and samples etc...! I could go on and on there wasn't a single skip & I didn't even care for Megan until she dropped the singles then I went back to listen to her whole discography, and was astounded.

This is a VERY solid and diverse hip hop album. Also very distinct and star-studded. I do wish she picked a different song for the 4th single and not body, but body is still a major bop lol… Expand

    The crisp production makes this feel like a well-thought-out and intentional release, rather than a rushed cash-grab. However, it’s this poise that makes Good News exactly that: good. When held up to past releases like Tina Snow and Fever, Megan’s larger-than-life personality over the Dirty South production she is most familiar with is not showcased to its full potential.

    When Megan moves away from her standard lyrical fare, perpetuating her beef with Tory Lanez on opening track Shots Fired or penning the poppy tune Don’t Rock Me To Sleep, the results are some of the best moments on the album, and if these aspects of her style had been explored some more it could have made for a more diverse LP, but Good News is still chock-full of catchy hooks, stellar verses and feisty attitude.

    “Good News” proves Megan’s prodigious talent, but it also suggests that, with a bit more digging, this gem could emit an even more prismatic shine.
