What they’re saying

“If there's one aspect of Wright's film that feels genuinely connected to today, it's the movie's media metaphor.”

“It's a cathartic collection; an expression of grief and love following the death of her father, the revered rapper, producer and Juicy Crew member Grand Daddy I.U.”

— Maria Sherman, AP Music Writer

“She's as ready to soundtrack a late night on the dance floor as she's ever been — like on the single 'Ride,' which interpolates the theme from the 1966 spaghetti Western film 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' and melts into her sequined synths.”

— Maria Sherman, AP Music Writer
