  1. 8.0 |   The Music

    Wild Things' is less of a return to form, and more of a triumphant statement of rejuvenation

  2. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    On its expert take on pop, it seems strong enough to endure beyond any revivalist trends

  3. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    One of the past criticisms of Ladyhawke has been that Brown is more style over substance, but Wild Things puts that theory to bed

  4. 8.0 |   DIY

    Her most consistent album to date, and let-loose like never before, blimey it’s good to have her back

  5. 8.0 |   Q

    As likeable as it is cutting edge. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Follows the same path both Empress Of and Grimes travelled with their latest releases, where the rough edges that made them interesting in the first place have been replaced with a synthetic sound better suited to RnB

  10. 5.5 |   Spectrum Culture

    The best moments on Wild Things overcome the temptation to give in to the vague euphoria of radio pop and mine ’80s synthpop not just for its driving beats, but for its nuanced emotion

  11. 4.0 |   The 405

    These will be the tracks that signal to gig and festival goers everywhere that it's time for a toilet break

  12. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    Could have easily been created by a computer tasked with making generic 21st-century chart music
