    What do reviewers say about Imitation Woman and I Want?

    Imitation Woman is not subtle and it does not care if that bothers you. The aldehydes give it a vintage glamour that most modern releases avoid entirely, and the licorice in the heart keeps things.Imitation Woman
    The name is a dare. The juice is an answer. Fruity-floral that doesn't beg for attention, it earns it through sheer wearability. No weird phases, no sharp turns.I Want
