Jack Harlow's Neo-Soul Album Faces Backlash

0:00On March 17th, Jack Harlow dropped his new album Monica on Friday, switching to a Neal Soul vibe. Critics slander right away, with pitch 4 handing out a 3.1 out of 10 score and reviewer Anthony Fantano, giving it just 3 out of 10. Pitch 4 called the effort a week attempt at rebranding, saying, Harlow misses what makes Neal Soul work. Readers backed that up with their own average score of 4.7 on the site. Fantano went further, labeling it forgettable, and saying it only got attention thanks to the hype around Harlow's recent moves. Without that buzz, he figures the project would have flown under the radar completely. All this follows backlash from an earlier interview where Harlow talked about embracing black music, sounds more deeply, and navigating cultural. Politics as a white artist. Those comments win viral and sparked plenty of online debate. Now the album faces an uphill battle amid the noise, leaving fans and foes alike, watching how Harlow bounces back from this rough start.
