    There are occasional traces of the experimentalism of her first two records, in the droning synths, or the faint, granular whirr of tape looming in the background. These elements, paired with Roxanne’s strength as a singer, give these songs a leg-up when they risk feeling too drab or generic.

    Roxanne's music is still spacious and immersive, but Poem 1 feels realistic rather than dreamlike and abstract.

    The touchstones - Julee Cruise, Kate Bush, The Blue Nile - are more classic than experimental but the heartbreaking emotions remain utterly real. [Jun 2026, p.88]
