Critic reviews

  • Pitchfork: 8/10by Ben Cardew
    Sep 22, 2026

    Obel’s thick, velvety voice gives the music an unusual blend of innocence, wisdom, and maternal warmth.

  • Beats Per Minute: 80/100by Ljubinko Zivkovic
    Sep 23, 2026

    This intellectual introspection that Obel weaves through her music here, a masterful combination of classical and pop music forms, never burdens the music itself
