Ravyn Lenae’s Blue Island begins with the single ‘Handle”, the second single from the album. Ushering in the album, it signals a shift from her previous album, Birds Eye, and once again shows her ability to infuse several genres into her musical palette. From then on, she continues to showcase not only the sonically expansive music styles present on the album, but also brings her signature vocal and ethereal tone to the project.​

From top to bottom, the album plays flawlessly. Moving between genres of indie rock, funk, R&B, soul and psychedelic rock. Everything she brings across the 14 tracks melds together and becomes something that sounds authentically hers. Across her career, Ravyn has never been an artist who is trying to chase a moment or follow a trend; instead, she has developed her own musical style in a way that is unique to her. She is somebody who has been able to take the space and room to create something that continues to showcase her strength as an artist going from album to album.​

Moments on the album that stand out include “Familiar Dreams”, which has a nostalgic feel to it as she sings about reconnecting with an old flame after a long period of time. The feeling brings a somewhat whimsical feel to the song and an aspect of remembrance. “Never Let Me Go”, which follows immediately after, feels like the alternative R&B sound that people will be familiar with. The song ends with a voicemail from her grandfather and adds a special touch to the song's essence. “Potential”, the lead single that ushered in this new era for Ravyn, also shines in the context of the album with her melodies that come into a distortion of sounds and create a different sonic that one might have been expecting from start to finish. With this being one of the two lead singles, it very much displayed how this would be introducing a different soundscape for Ravyn. Further down, another standout moment on the album is  “Babygirl”, which includes vocals from Doechii, someone who is no stranger to collaborating with Ravyn on the Xtsay remix back in 2022. This time around, the two opt for something much gentler than one may have expected, with both giving a soft, melodic vibe to the song that speaks to confidence and self-empowerment for girls.

Overall, the album really showcases Ravyn's freedom of creation and not being forced to subscribe to what others may expect of her, especially following the success of “Love Me Not”. Ultimately, she is following her own bliss and showcasing her ability to genre-blend and discover more within her artistry that others may have confined her to. Blue Island delivers a refreshing sound and body of work and delivers on the mission she set out for it.
