Critics Had Mixed Feelings On These 2016 Albums

7. Rachel Platten, Wildfire 

[Columbia]

Metascore: 52

Few official publications seemed to review Rachel Platten’s Wildfire. All Music gave Wildfire the kindest marks, though that only awarded her three stars (60).  The other three publications – The New York Press, Boston Globe, and The Guardian – weren’t quite so generous.  The Times proclaims she’s “blindly experimenting with styles.” The Globe asserts “Too often here she’s battling stuffed-to-the-ills arrangements.” The Guardian criticizes “the hallmarks of temporary success” apparent here.

Our thoughts? On a review submitted to Starpulse, we gave Platten 3 stars.  Nothing too crazy!
