Reviews
"Its kaleidoscopic, digital-funk sound was reflected in its castlist, though, including Prince, Stevie Wonder, Brian Wilson and Pharrell...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "It’s one of the greatest artists of our time carrying Prince’s baton into the new world....She’s got The Purple One’s punk, mad-scientist approach but creates a world all of her own.", Included in Entertainment Weekly’s “The 20 Best Albums of 2018” -- "With assists from Zoë Kravitz and Grimes, Monáe’s DIRTY COMPUTER transforms 'The Future Is Female' from a marketable slogan into a foregone conclusion.", "Monae shimmies and shines on sex-positive tracks like 'Make Me Feel' and 'I Like That,' weaving clever lyrics and beats baring her late mentor Prince's legendary fingerprints throughout.", "DIRTY COMPUTER captures the plight of today's outsiders who are fighting back, forming the world to be. Monáe is 10 steps ahead, past the Trump era, embracing the robot-utopia that gives hope to an unprejudiced and equal world.", Included in Spin's "The 51 Best Albums of 2018" -- "DIRTY COMPUTER is the closest she’s come to making an album in which she’s all things to all people. Most obviously, she’s a successor to Prince...", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "She weaponizes Prince's fluidly radical pop-funk spirit for a new power generation, targeting oppression on various intersectional fronts....It's a sexy MF-ing masterpiece.", "DIRTY COMPUTER's opening act is harmonically lush, filled with bright synthesizers and rhythm guitars that refuse to linger in the melancholy found in the lower frets -- their realm is one of tentative exhilaration, of becoming.", "A collection of funky, smart, and ferocious tracks combining echoes of her heroes -- including Prince -- with her own special feel.", "The album is best in its meatiest section, a run of songs in the middle of the tracklist that remind us that Monáe and her team -- including the writers and producers Nate Wonder and Chuck Lightning -- have the songwriting chops to justify their reverence."
