GentleDance Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Quote It is among the most insipid, vacuous statements in recent pop history. Quote Harlow’s ability to rap well somehow acts as a hindrance to his ability to make good songs Quote With little substance or musical intrigue, “First Class” and “Dua Lipa” are anodyne pieces of content designed to make somebody say, “Did you hear that Jack Harlow song that samples Fergie, or the one called ‘Dua Lipa’?” There’s no better answer than a dead-eyed “Yeah.” Quote Harlow’s charisma does not translate onto the record, and, instead, we’re left with a one-trick pony without a discernible trick, a competent rapper who does not flow intricately or write impressively, a pop star who struggles to carry a song on his own. Quote These songs have topics, for sure—women, his upbringing, how he drinks pineapple juice to make his semen taste good—but Harlow does not craft vivid scenes, proffer compelling thoughts, or wring out emotion, sounding like someone forced into an introductory therapy session, Pitchfork also clocked his chin implant Quote Jack Harlow is a charming, tall, and increasingly chiseled 24-year-old man https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/jack-harlow-come-home-the-kids-miss-you/ Edited May 10, 2022 by GentleDance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

americanlife Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 It’s definitely mid but it’s not 2.9, and the Peppa Pig score was just giving in to a meme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a Gay on ATRL Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I haven’t listened to his album yet so I can’t really speak on this, I briefly skimmed every song and nothing stood out to me immediately. First Class is a cute song for the background of a party though. Laughing at them randomly going so hard on him. 36 minutes ago, Digitalism said: White people doing horrible rap music.

He is insanely good at making memorable melodies, like Doja is too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imabadkid Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I love him and he’s the IT boy of the moment but the album is a complete snoozefest. I think he tried to hard to be different and do something outside of what’s popular in trap rap but it just… is incredibly boring and feels like the album isn’t going anywhere.

Espresso Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I know they're not really comparable for time of the industry and genre, but I wish this review made as much waves as Jack's is. I guess she was never remotely as commercially viable so it never would, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
