The Architect is an epoch marking the next step in the winding, unpredictable, and layered musical genius of Dawn Richard. Envisioned as one long seamless body of work, The Architect weaves from the warbling industrial instrumental opening of “Your Love / Legends” to pure pop-dance bangers “Bubblegum” and “Babe Ruth.”

Raven is gentle, the rhythms are like a breath brushing the surface of the skin, the music has the consistency of a cloud, weighless, no sweat here or grit, effortless glide, as heavy as a memory or fleeting as a thought.

The latest from Spanish producer Pional is as rich with gorgeous vocal melodies as it is dense with rhythm and electronics. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 12, 2016
Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
