"On 'Grenades,' Kaia Kater does not refrain from bringing diversity to the fore, while still being able to include a healthy dosage of mainstream sensibilities. In this sense it is essential, somewhat akin to a modern-day `Graceland,' albeit with a hell of a lot more authenticity and political fight. Kater has a knack of structuring her songs around strong choruses without losing any of the emotional impact that her lyrics deliver and perfectly conveys the horrific treatment her father suffered, as well as highlighting how little progress has been made since"

"The album draws heavily on her father, Deno Hurst's, history, fleeing to Canada in 1986 as part of a student exchange programme following the Reagan administration's invasion of Grenada. Indeed, there are several interludes on the album where he can be heard recounting those events, linking his past to his daughter's present in a world beset by issues of displacement, immigration and conflict ... Impressionistic rather than explicit, thoughts and emotions are woven through the musical fabric as much as the lyrics, it marks a huge leap on her musical and personal journey, and sharing it is a privilege"
