Pitchfork – “”On her full-length debut, the provocative producer also raps, smartly using her voice as a tool in her quest to dislodge gender binaries and power hierarchies in their lyrics. They express the narratives of men and women in their music with ambiguity, pop seduction with an edge “”Angel-Ho questions the structures of gender performance and binaries and plays with them in a way that deconstructs identities categories. They are part of the artists who challenge gender and sexuality through visual and multi-visceral performances and continue to define what pop is from the underground.
