In the span of just a few years, Canadian rapper NAV released project after project of his atmospheric mainstream trap, taking over the charts as he went. Good Intentions is his third studio LP in about as many years, following 2019s Bad Habits by about 14 months. This newest volume continues with the same attributes NAV has presented repeatedly throughout his discography, with rhymes about drugs, sex, cars, and fame spit over midtempo trap-pop instrumentals. Good Intentions features interesting production choices and an impressive list of guest artists. Young Thug contributes to several songs, and other highlights include appearances from Travis Scott, Gunna, Lil Durk, Future, and Pop Smoke. The instrumentals for songs like No Ice and Brown Boy break NAV out of his formula considerably. ~ Fred Thomas

ウィークエンド率いるXOに所属するトロント出身のラッパーによる約1年ぶりの3作目はバッドなムードだった前作から一転グッドなヴァイブスを随所で醸し、先行曲"Turks" でのトラヴィス・スコットとガンナをはじめとする人気アクトが集結。特にリル・ウージー・ヴァート参加の"Status"や"Coast To Coast"あたりのキャッチーなメロディーラインが耳に残る。故ポップ・スモークとのコラボ曲も収録。
