Sometimes it’s disappointing that Gomez puts more oomph in the beats than in her promising lyrical power, but it’s admirable that she places herself first in the album. “Revival” is an impressive new front in Gomez’s music, hard-earned and intriguing, raising the question of what’s next. “Me & the Rhythm” and “Body Heat” are music for the senses, while “Sober” and “Camouflage” are more serious, with frustration and anger locked tight in the lyrics. The songs deal with mature topics, like the greedy, giggly “Hands to Myself” and the Internet-famous “Good for You” featuring A$AP Rocky. There’s an inevitable energy, whirlwind of emotions, and putting yourself first. Gomez tackles the album with what I would imagine your twenties are supposed to be like. “Same Old Love” is one of the best examples, filled with cool anguish and sensuality all at once. “Revival” is filled with classy, smooth snaps and chirps, trademarks of the lush, minimalist mainstream pop of today.
