Critics really like the new Kelela album 'Raven'

"'Raven' isn’t a magpie record, and the shifts between sounds are never jarring or overwhelming. Kelela has too much command over her own sound for that... Tracks flow into and out of each other, speeding up or slowing down at their conclusions" - Stereogum goes reviewing the newest album by the American singer (tagged it their Album of the Week). Pitchfork hears a "masterful display of tension and release, centering queer Black womanhood through blasts of heated dance music and ambient comedowns" (tagged it best Best new music, score 8.4). Telegraph says the "Ethiopian-American artist Kelela Mizanekristos has blessed us with a sexy, sultry masterclass in RnB".
