Positives:

Danceable rhythms filled with passionate performances with an island flair. Odreii offers a dazzling listen with Spanish and Caribbean soulfulness.

Bottom Line:

Odreii offers an Island sound with hip-hop sensibilities, examples run hot on “Runs in Mi Blood,” and “Link Up.” While tunes like “Driver,” showcase her softer sensibilities and the soulfulness of her voice in an angst filled ballad. While “Always Been You,” showcases her pop sensibilities. One defining element is Odreii shimmering voice. Runs in Mi Blood runs the gamut of styles, all tied together by the cohesive performances by Odreii. That’s the short of it!
