Sap

"On her third album, Kaya Wilkins' arrangements have finally caught up with her free-roaming mind; the music has gathered weight and mass, bringing her distinctive insights into focus".

"The Norwegian-American multi-hyphenate handles existentialism and desire with peculiar humor and gentleness on third [album] ... Over two albums and two mixtapes, Okay Kaya's gift for obscure metaphor and forward-thinking structures made her an appealing figure in today's art-conscious alternative pop ... Her production and silky voice are as ethereal as ever on SAP ... SAP does not contain a single bad song, but the record is lengthy ... The music is somehow both recondite and relatable, inducing some disorientation. It's challenging to sit in that disorientation for over three-quarters of an hour. Fortunately, Wilkins makes that disorientation oddly cozy with her whimsical melodies and gentle vocals".

"Due to its length (nearly 50 minutes), cerebral constitution, and tenuous songs structures, SAP can take some effort on the part of the listener by the end, although its unpredictability, enveloping intimacy and creative restlessness are just as likely to engage".

"Selvom det måske ikke er alle skæringer i pladen, der er lige mindeværdige, så er helhedsindtrykket af SAP en overbevisende cementering af, hvilken kreativ, finurlig og følsom kunstner Okay Kaya er ... SAP er gennemsyret af et instrumentalt overskud, der vidner om, at Wilkins ikke alene er en skarp lyriker, men også en dybt kreativ komponist".
