    These songs are caustic, knotty monoliths, and Mutinta bedecks her sacrifices with challenging, orchestrated resignations; the occultic, unsettled energy of her previous releases gets substituted with potent electronic abstraction.

    It’s a stark and deeply arresting addition to her discography.

    Only Dust Remains is a brave, powerful and uncompromising album that holds nothing back, either in terms of Ashanti’s own life, or her views about what’s happening outside it. Yet bleak and dark as it is, there’s nevertheless hope to be found here.

    The overall mood is reflective but such things are relative, this is still intense and emotionally heavy stuff.

    She hasn’t fully ascertained how to recast her aesthetic without diluting her presence, but with Dust she inches toward reinvention. Mutinta’s a magician who’s expanding her repertoire, forging new alchemical practices. Dust is ultimately a “between” project; we’ll see where it leads.
