"In the late nineteen-seventies, East Los Angeles swelled with decade-old soul records; Mexican-American teens cruised to oldies in low-rider convoys, forging a youth subculture that was both nostalgic and new...Kali Uchis, ...revives the sound with magnetic, achy soul ballads free of pop glisten."-The New Yorker

"Kali Uchis is nobody's manufactured pop princess...The album expands on Uchis's pinup retro cool and raises the stakes-from the high-noon cinematic showdown of 'Miami' to the...Latin pop of 'Nuestra Planeta.'"-Interview
