The bridge is tranquil and drumless, but, with a title like Gravity and all its spatial implications, I’d imagine the whole song would sound like that. Perhaps it’s a good thing it doesn’t. The Machinedrum (and-bass) breakdown at 2:13 is the best part. This is also one of Tinashe’s better songs, albeit one that continues her fixation with the cliché concept of romance, in the way of vocal melody.

The worst thing about this project is the silly stylization of its title. “BB/ANG3L”, as it officially goes, is a trendy way of saying Baby Angel, which would’ve suited just fine. Not that these songs have much to do with religion or innocence. One, called None Of My Business, has the singer playing the role of side piece to a potentially married man.
At twenty minutes; about the same length as her Comfort And Joy Christmas set with the same amount of songs; this is more of an EP than the album it’s promoted as. The music is decidedly decent, but perhaps “D&B/ANG3L” would’ve been a better theme as the highlights; Gravity and Tightrope; interpolate drum and bass (jungle) beats.
