Rated 6/10
Rio is a solid album that feels unmistakably '80s in the best way. It has a bright, polished sound and an easygoing energy that makes it enjoyable from start to finish. While no individual track really stood out to me, the album works well as a complete listening experience rather than relying on a single standout hit. The drumming is especially impressive, adding a lot of momentum and texture that elevates many of the songs. Overall, it's the kind of record I'd happily put on during a relaxed morning or a laid-back evening when I want something stylish, catchy, and effortless.
