Diamonds & dancefloors

"On her stellar sophomore set, Diamonds & Dancefloors, American pop hitmaker Ava Max bests her 2020 breakthrough debut with precision focus and a bounty of catchy hooks. Yet another instance where every track could be a lead single, the album is indebted to '80s synth-based dance-pop ("Million Dollar Baby," "Weapons") and early-'90s house anthems ("Ghost," "Diamonds & Dancefloors"), extending her pedigree as the next logical progression after forebears like Lady Gaga and Dua Lipa".

"Popfænomenets andet album lever ikke op til den knivskarpe debut ... Denne gang er dén kant og charme, som karakteriserede karrierens start (...) desværre veget til fordel for en gennemført slick popproduktion. Og, hvad værre er: nogle sange (...) mangler de mindeværdige hooks, der gjorde tidligere titler som 'Who's Laughing Now' og 'So Am I' så mindeværdige".

"For those who appreciate a particular branch of dance-pop, Diamonds & Dancefloors is a euphoric escape from the harsh realities of adult life ... But it's a sound and image that won't last forever. Until then, however, we'll shimmer on the dancefloor".

"Unashamedly derivative sad-pop bangers: A streamlined, shiny approach to dancefloor heartbreak largely serves the Albanian well in her pursuit of mainstream notoriety".
