Devotion is the debut studio album by British musician Tirzah. It was released through Domino on 10 August 2018.[2] [3]
On review aggregator Metacritic, Devotion received a score of 80/100, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Kevin Lozano for Pitchfork praised it as "a compelling vision of what imperfect pop music can be", comparing the "sparse" songs to Arthur Russell, and referring to "Devotion" as "excruciatingly emotional".[4] In a positive review for The Skinny, Nadia Younes said that it is "open", "intricate", and "fiercely unique ... one of the most crucial pop records of the year".[5] Writing for PopMatters, Mark Matousek expressed support for Mica Levi's production work on the album and the pair's collaborations prior to Devotion, but says that Tirzah's contributions here cause "dilution" to the instrumentals and criticizes her lyrical obscurity.[6]
