'Queen of France' reviews in English:
Wears The Trousers ****
There is a new planet revolving Earth. As large and sparkling as an immense glitterball, those watching the stars late at night might catch sight of its bright aura or hear the strong beats emanating from it.(...)Her perception, a yearning to connect with mankind, a deepness beyond the disco glamour, combined with a great command of melody and poetry, make for an album that will leave you listening again and again. And while you’re at it, you’ll be boogieing like a robo-queen.
Indiepassion
All she does is experimental. Pop is pushed to the boundaries.(...)She is indeed kooky but not weird for the sake of being weird. She always knows how to make an amazing pop song without veering away from the mainstream and soaks her sound with rich beats and interesting sounds that make you listen with interest.
Release Magazine ****** (6/10)
This is definitely a feature of this album that can't be ignored; RebekkaMaria really does have an extraordinary voice. Sometimes it works exceptionally well.(...)...this artist is so unique she could place herself in a similarly unique position as the aforementioned artiste. (Björk)
Popnograhpy
...Andersson writes her own recipe for delectable, perfectly prepared pop music -- but makes it appear as effortless as microwaving brownies, resulting in a batch of songs that are satisfyingly unpredictable, absurdly catchy, and infinitely worthy of serving as the soundtrack to your next cocktail (or sex) party.
It's a Trap! ******
The first half of the record was definitely crafted with a pop song structure in mind, while the latter half is much more experimental and less immediate.
In Swedish:
Arbeterbladet ***** (5/5)
Ibland händer det. Någon släpper en platta och du känner omedelbart att det är riktigt bra musik. As in RebekkaMaria ger mig den där rusiga känslan.
Nerikes Allehanda **** (4/5)
Solodebuten bjuder på elegant, dansant och basig electropop.(...) Låtarna står stadigt i en grund av grymma beats och potentiella hits avlöser varandra.
Nöjesguiden :-)
RebekkaMaria är dansk electro-hipster. Så i paritet med till exempel danske hipster-designern Henrik Vibskovs popularitet på sistone kommer vi garanterar höra mycket av henne.
Sydsvenskan *** (3/5)
I det här fallet blir svart plus vitt inte grått utan kyligt pastellfärgat, målat med avmätt distans i perfekta mönster.
In Danish:
Politiken ***** (5/6)
Et album med ambition om at ramme øjeblikket lige på forkantens kæbespids. I så henseende rammer denne spøjse Queen Of France, præcist hvor hun skal!
DR.dk/musik ***** (5/6)
Rebekka Maria passer som fod i dansesko til electropoppen og sparker røv på sit debutalbum.
Livsglæde og kraftfulde selvsikre elektrobeats, som smyger sig om Rebekka Maria og vokser sammen med hendes kælne stemme
As in blæst omkuld, As in fucking powerful, As in modig, As in meget overbevisende….
Ekstra Bladet ***** (5/6)
...Skæve påfund, lillepigevokal, nordisk electro-kølighed og store armbevægelser fra en talentfuld sangerinde, der tør blande sukker med råddenskab.
...Rebekka Maria Anderssons spændstige grooves, elegante melodier og legesyge påfund.
Citadel **** (4/6)
Pop-pigerne indtager verden!
Aha! Galskab på den sjove måde… musikken udstråler livsmod, iørefaldende omkvæd og fuld knald på elektronikken…
Gaffa **** (4/6)
RebekaMaria præsenterer fra ende til anden en aldeles solid og frydefuldt spændstig omgang elektropop af mest sprødt pikante format
Soundvenue **** (4/6)
På debuten lægger hun ud med fire kongenumre… det er frækt og forførende og lige i skabet!(...)Forfriskende og fremadrettet, modsat så meget andet i elektrogenren – pigepop med personlighed!
Berlingske **** (4/6)
Det samlede resultat er en afsøgende spil-levende og mangefacetteret elektropop, som er af international tilsnit i det aldeles fremragende åbningsnummer Yours Truly
Urban **** (4/6)
Der er staffage og stemmepragt nok til adskillige byture i champagne og chiffon
MetroXpress **** (4/6)
På solodebuten lægger RebekkaMaria ud med fire kongenumre, der er så iørefaldende, at man falder på halen.
BT **** (4/6)
Queen Of France er en skøn oplevelse – konstant udfordrende, men også skamløst iørefaldende!
