"The latest album from the Vietnamese pop artist is an empowering statement of purpose, at its best when pairing evocative storytelling with theatrical, large-scale production." Pitchfork compliments the 34-year-old artist for writing songs "replete with messages about finding joy in every moment" and hails her "slick" ability to maneuver between rapping and singing.

It incorporates grandiose instrumentation; racing synth melodies and trap drums; rattling percussion and pogoing electronics; breezy disco-funk and filler words "la la la" that appear throughout traditional folk songs. "Her playful navigation of Vietnam past and present, something central to her art, exists even here." "Link" received a score of 7.2, no little achievement compared to Pitchfork’s high standards. This is the third Vietnamese album ever reviewed by Pitchfork , … [Read more...] about Vietnamese female pop star wows American online music publication
