Review
Remi Wolf's "Big Ideas" is a vibrant mosaic of eclectic sounds, heralding her evolution as both a singer-songwriter and producer. The album opens with the intoxicating disco-funk rhythms of "Cinderella," setting an irresistible tone for what's to follow. Wolf deftly blends pop, soul, and indie rock, creating a fresh auditory experience with each track offering its own distinct vibe.
"Wave" is a standout, artfully mixing reggae and emo-rock, with a Flaming Lips-inspired chorus that adds a rich, emotional layer. Adding to the album’s captivating depth, "Alone in Miami" packs a grungy punch with its energetic bridge and raw sound. "Motorcycle" pulls on the heartstrings with its soulful melodies and bluesy guitar, showcasing Wolf’s phenomenal vocal prowess. "Toro" reels you in with catchy hooks and impressive vocal dynamics, though tracks like "Frog Rock" and "Pitiful" might feel a touch lighter.
Closing gracefully with the disco-driven anthem "Slay Bitch," "Big Ideas" leaves you buzzing. It's an exhibition of Wolf’s matured artistry and relentless experimentation, confirming her as a trailblazer in today's pop genre. - Vivian
