Platten attempts to break out of such well-meaning constrictions on Waves, a glitzy, stylized attempt to please every conceivable modern pop audience. While \"Fight Song\" echoes through Waves -- it's heard within the theme of the aspirational anthem \"Broken Glass\" and in the melody of \"Loose Ends\" -- Platten is intent on proving that she's not just a winsome singer\/songwriter. She'll deliver a stately ballad when she needs to -- the austere \"Hands\" and the solemn closer \"Grace\" -- but spends more time ratcheting up EDM rhythms and sliding into neon-streaked club tunes. The emphasis on the latter -- the album opens up with the de facto Madonna tribute \"Perfect for You\" and peaks with \"Shivers,\" a dead ringer for Ellie Goulding -- winds up illustrating how Platten is a malleable vocal presence, adaptable to many different styles without quite imprinting the sounds with her own personality. That's not really a detriment, as such producers as Ryan Tedder and Stargate put her inherent flexibility to good use. Everybody involved is determined to give the album a steely, professional sheen and they succeed, turning Waves into a record that provides a definitive break from \"Fight Song.\" ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/27\/2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rachel Platten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563593986281,"sku":"MFPPTE-LMMJ-00","price":18.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/Rachel-Platten-WAVES_2QMmA.jpg?v=1759363411","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/rachel-platten-waves","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
