For this album review, Amaarae swerves into a darker and more abrasive blend of R&B, house, hip-hop and afrobeats, where it doesn't flatter her as much... but that might be the point.

Best Songs: ‘Kiss Me Thru The Phone Pt. 2’ ft. PinkPantheress, ‘B2B’, ‘S.M.O.’, ‘Dream Scenario’ ft. Charlie Wilson
Worst Song: ‘Dove Cameron’
