Aug 25, 2017Holiday Destination is musically rich, but its greatest triumph is its concord of convenience and intellect.
-
Aug 25, 2017On her third LP, Shah displays the patience to let an idea stew. And she’s not moving on until she’s sufficiently chewed it over, swished it around her mouth, and dragged her tongue across her front teeth.
-
Aug 24, 2017She’s not yet gone for the poppier approach to take her messages more mainstream, but few current artists make music with such a simmering edge.

MojoAug 21, 2017Holiday Destination needs to be uncomfortable and it is, a beautifully realised disturbance of any remaining peace. [Sep 2017, p.92]
