Margaret Farrell of Pitchfork wrote " The EP placed at number 10 on Tiny Mix Tapes's list of the best releases of 2018. The website wrote "Deafening and invasive, Cruel Practice carried with it the feeling of entering bodily into someone else’s fantasy and taking control, of reconfiguring the conduits of sexual and emotional power, of becoming the turbulence in a system that, faced with the imminence of the future, can only shout impotently and virulently into a past that no longer indulges its machinations of singular authority."[3]

Heterosexuality is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Shamir. It was released on February 11, 2022 through AntiFragile Records.

Composition

edit

Heterosexuality is an avant-garde pop and noise pop album with influences from an eclectic array of genres.[1][2]

"Gay Agenda is an industrial banger that talks about toxic masculinity and queerness.[1][3] "Cisgender" is a shoegaze track that discusses Shamir's non-binary gender identity.[4][5] "Abomination" is an industrial rap song, wherein Shamir raps with "san otherworldly blend of power and gentleness" about systemic oppression, reclaiming slurs that have been used against him.[5][6][1] "Caught Up" is an indie rock song[1] "Marriage" is a "strutting" R&B song with "new jack swing-esque percussion and a funky, glistening guitar line" and features Shamir learning to love himself, proclaiming "I'm married to me".[4] [5] "Cold Brew" is an alt-pop song that reflect's Shamir's emotional clarity[4] "Nuclear" is a tropicalía and bossa nova song that takes influence from lounge pop.[4][5]

Lyrically, the album's ten tracks tell a narrative cycle, beginning with songs about a trio of songs about "aggressive nonconformity as a political statement". On "Stability" Shamir expresses how that fight can take a toll and "unearths traumas, both universal ones and his own unique struggles". The album then "moves into a false, saccharine golden hour" with lyrics about "helplessness hardening into nihilism". On the last two songs Shamir "entertains the slightest possibility of hope" and the fight returns.[7]

Heterosexuality received a score of 79 out of 100 based on 13 critical reviews, from review aggregate site Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[8]

"On each of Heterosexuality's tracks, he defies being easily categorized by the issues outlined on the big-picture song titles, bringing different colors to his unrepentant honesty" Allmusic "While its seeming contradictions make it a slightly more challenging listen than Shamir was, Heterosexuality acknowledges how complicated just existing can be with the wit, creativity, and unguarded emotions that have been a vital part of Shamir's music since the beginning."

"Heterosexuality is the voice of an artist attempting to integrate his shadows. It’s a bold sonic experiment with a clear message: I’m here, I’m queer, don’t fuck with me." (Crack) "With resounding beauty, ‘Heterosexuality’ deconstructs social norms through a powerful freedom of self-expression, yet also acknowledges this pain and struggle" (DIY)

"Shamir's vocals are otherworldly, careening over the darkness of his tracks before plunging into seduction, despair or both, only to ultimately emerge as an '80s pop falsetto. Somehow, Shamir can invoke Bjork, Prince and the Weeknd, sometimes all in the same track, while still sounding completely unique." "Heterosexuality captivates and transports the listener, making an ethereal landscape out of dissonance and nihilism. It never repeats itself, it does not stutter, and it absolutely never apologizes."(Exclaim)

"Heterosexuality can be an overwhelming listen, packed with emotion and production choices that leave you gasping for air , but it’s also deeply rewarding." (paste)

"Some of the songs are so jagged and exposed, they have the double-edged effect of also feeling unfinished, especially compared to the more upbeat moments on the album. The project also doesn’t boast the tightness of Shamir’s 2020 self-titled album, which he released after parting ways with his former label XL—a move that made it clear Shamir was going to navigate the music world on his own terms. Instead, Heterosexuality is impulsive and unfiltered, another self-affirmation from someone who’s shared that he’s“anti-career”—and far more interested in self-discovery than a route toward the stardom." (Rolling Stone)
