Liar

"The visual is as stark as the message of the song, with Jelly standing in the middle of a dilapidated living room while singing to his reflection in a mirror and vowing that the dark voices in his head will not get him down again." (Jessica Lynch / billboard.com, August 2nd, 2024)

2024: at the Crossroads of Pop and Country

"In 2024, pop artists made their love for country music known, and, today, Grammy voters made their love known for those efforts.Pop and R&B stars dominated the country Grammy nominations, including Beyoncé, who was the only artist to receive a nod in all four country categories." (Melinda Newman / billboard.com, November 8, 2024)

Nothing but lies

"[Studio Two is] our most famous recording space. The scene of landmark recordings by The Beatles, Shirley Bassey, Kate Bush, Massive Attack, Oasis, Adele and so many more, Studio Two has been at the heart of popular music since it first opened its doors back in 1932." (abbeyroad.com/studio-two)

Whirlwind

"'Whirlwind' is another superior example of Wilson's ongoing collaboration with producer Jay Joyce, and how it generates grabbags of songs that sound completely diverse from track to track and yet all authentically country and certainly all utterly her." (Chris Willman / variety.com, 23. August 2024)

Some Help

"To be honest, I often have to remind myself that this isn’t just a Morgan Wallen song. Which isn’t to say that it doesn’t feel like a Post song too, or that his contributions are negligible, but this song is so firmly in the sonic lane that Wallen established with the title tracks of his Dangerous and One Thing at a Time albums." (Andrew Unterberger / billboard.com, May 21, 2024)

A huge surprise and an undeserved award?

"For a second, it was hard to tell what silhouetted angel was killing the beginning of Chris Stapleton’s 'Think I’m in Love With You.' [...] Her voice fit the bluesy, sultry song well, and Stapleton, a true pro at big-time duets, knew how to cede the stage." (Justin Curto / vulture.com, May 17, 2024)
