On Mud, Remi Wolf continues to utilize her superb voice but seems to have lost the ability to do much with it

Where ‘Big Ideas’ laid the groundwork, ‘Mud’ serves to consolidate the ideas

The LA-based indie-pop singer streamlines the silly-sweet cleverness and adventurous flourishes of her previous efforts into a more melancholic and cohesive work

Wolf shines through Mud thanks to the album's ambiguities and complexities. Much like a mud bath, it's messy — but ultimately healing

The genre-blending artist emerges from a period of emotional turbulence to unearth a more grown-up, toned-down sound

It all goes down relatively easily given Mud's big melodies, catchy hooks, busy arrangements, and less serious breathers, but for listeners who want all the feels, they are there for the taking

The pop singer’s dynamic but uneven third record provides a portrait of semi-reformed adulthood, powered mostly by her sheer charisma and impressive voice

Wolf makes music to dance to alone, while no one watches, or in front of everyone. Mud encapsulates the hope of figuring it all out with time
