Chris Ingalls: One-third of Blouse, Hilton gives us a solo album that features more of her old band’s irresistible dream pop. I like how the song unfolds in a variety of stages, genres and tempos, while there’s a common thread of dreaminess that works its way through the whole track. The analog sound palate offers a lot, and keeps everything interesting. [7/10]
Emmanuel Elone: Charlie Hilton’s new song is woozy, with some vocals that swing in and out of key and instrumentation that borders on psychedelic. Though interesting, not much stands out that caught my attention or impressed me in any way. Even the interlude in the middle of the song proved to be pretty uninteresting, which is surprising given the lo-fi and simple aesthetic. Hilton might have been trying to showcase her experimental side, but the result is too bland, colorless and forgettable, especially when compared to other pop psychedelic acts out right now. [4/10]
Chad Miller: Jumps around a bit without giving the sections much time to settle. Every section feels like an unfinished idea that lacks development. The vocals are pretty enjoyable though, and occasionally the melody feels worthy of them. [6/10]
Pryor Stroud: Built upon a slow-motion cataract of falling synthesizers and a clumsy, prep-funk groove, Charlie Hilton’s “Something For Us All” leaves an impression by turning the agonies of romantic disjuncture — I want to feel this about you, toward you, but I can’t — into a piece of bouncy, Warholian performance art. It also offers further evidence that Nico’s lavash, pseudo-affected, caught-in-a-delirium vocal persona has penetrated pop’s databank of influencers more than anyone could have ever anticipated.
