    Ready for Heaven is easily her best record to date; it brings all her talents together in one shimmering, emotionally charged, and musically impressive package.

    "No No Yes Yes" is way more an earworm than it has any right to be - but fluttery vocal flourishes ("Hell Island") and renegade horns creeping through the mire ("Golden Teachers") show there is still fun to be had at the end of the world. [Jul 2025, p.27]

    An album that marries similarly weighty existential themes with a deft, almost playful sonic curiosity. Though its lyrics grapple with capitalism’s erosion of humanity and the psychic toll of modern life, the music itself is anything but oppressive, being loaded with irresistible hooks, kaleidoscopic colours and confident, warm, kinetic production. [Jun 2025, p.50]

    Each track very much lives and breathes in a world of its own, all while coming together to present a cohesive feeling.
