Turns out all it took to get Kim Petras rocketing back on track with truly spectacular flourish was leaving both the d*ctor and Republic Records in the dust—and this Detour is, unquestionably, the best material she's ever made. Really and truly blown away by how fantastic it is, front to back, and couldn't be prouder of her (or, for that matter, more confused at the Republic execs who made her sit on this gloriousness for so long until she had no choice but to escape their apparently imbecilic clutches and drop it herself).

Both certifiable robberies, both gut-punch losses, but it's gotta be RENAISSANCE for me.

Stumbled upon this yesterday and am completely and totally obsessed; for sure one of my favorite debuts in forever and ever.

Actual footage of me listening to Demetria's latest after the first two tracks: "Fast" and "Here All Night" (both of which are...fine) being the lead singles when she had literally every other banger on there?? Most paramount of them all being (!!!) "Frequency"???? Completely mind-boggling.

Wait—I thought the song was really cute when I listened to it last night, but that's…one of the best videos I've seen in years?

I've been bopping to this garbage all day, but the T*sla mention in the intro is...inexcusable.

Absolutely loving this sonic Gaga cosplay.

God, this is soooo gooood. Major song of the summer contender already.

Flawless cover. May 30th can't come soon enough!

So, so pleasantly surprised! "Cowboy" (!!!), "Ojos Tristes" with The Marías, the *incredible* Charli track?? I really didn't expect such a serve from this, but—

All that needs to be said on the matter, really!

The production on this is just sublime. Instant AOTY contender for me!

Color me *very* pleasantly surprised! I've only liked a small handful of Bruno tracks, but this is actually fantastic… I do think it could rather easily take home both ROTY and SOTY if it smashes, like it sounds like it will. It's total Grammy catnip (they might as well save time and engrave Pop Duo/Group for them already).

It's all very Jocelyn, but the chorus is *so* good. Impressive! The video, on the other hand, is...terrible. Over this track, of all things, she should be serving "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know," not goofy girly flopping all over a car like an extra in Titane.

If this isn't a worldwide #1 smash, I genuinely don't know what is. Completely and totally incapable of stopping myself from playing it—or spinning the video, which is equally exquisite—on endless loop.
