Raw and ruthless, ‘Good News’ is the sound of Megan Thee Stallion pushing against the boundaries imposed on her until they break. Embracing some of the viral tropes that surround her, she’s able to own them, and transcend them, before moving on; she’s working at her own pace, owning her own destiny. The latest headlines are in: ‘Good News’ is a triumph, and a late contender for Album Of The Year.

Earmilk
The Good News about this album is that Megan exceeded expectations by delivering a memorable debut project. Everything about Megan's debut album screams empowerment wearing a pair of heels. Many of the song listings on here carry heavy themes of remorseless living and a blatant disregard for those disagreeing. The authenticity of her sound and the sincerity of her delivery takes this project up a level. Megan is the running headline but she reminds everyone in her debut that she's still the one controlling the narrative.

Good News does its job and exceeds expectations. This record reminds us of something that we all know, Megan has an incredible amount of potential that will help her sustain a lengthy and successful career.

Flood Magazine
Good News gives us the pimp, the party girl, and the polished diva. Not every track is a platinum banger, and there is one already-poorly-aged Tiger King reference. But Good News isn’t meant to be a simple introduction. It’s Megan Thee Stallion at her most agile and hi-def. It’s our invitation to the coronation of this generation’s hip-hop royalty.
