    Lover, Other is remarkably self-assured and cohesive. Each track has unique production details, such as the warped sampling of In the Morning’s intro. A homegrown rarity with no skips.

    It leaps between the glitch-hop of “Bezerk” to the android hymn “Don’t Go”; from the thumpy funk of “In My Head” to the pulsating UK garage of “Something”. It also employs some audacious samples, like the drumless samba that backs “Walk In The Park”, or the Cuban rumba groove under the vaporous soul of “Mood To Make Love”. But it’s unified by Lowe’s soft, supple voice and a quiet air of hope, warmth and radiance. [Nov 2024, p.40]

    Lowe has created something daring and unwavering in Lover, Other. In using her most provocative production to date, she doesn’t dim the shine of her primary instrument—instead, she highlights its brilliance.

    A few upbeat numbers feel out of place in the record's otherwise chill vibe, and kind of wreck its chance at coming together as w cohesive whole. [Aug - Oct 2024, p.106]
