Critical reception

[edit]

Amanda Jones of The Ramapo News describes the work as "a moody 15-track anthology that dives into sex, love and consequences" going on to say that "Each song has a different element and vibe, but are all tied together with 2016-techno feeling beats and a sultry pop tone".[1]

Josh Sharpe of BroadwayWorld indicates that "The 15-track collection boasts a darkened, dance-powered sound that Barrett has perfected in her journey to empower and uplift her listeners".[3]

Touring

[edit]

Nessa Barrett will embark on a 2025 tour of the album with support from Sombr and Ari Abdul. The tour, 'AFTERCARE WORLD TOUR 2025', kicks off in Minneapolis, Minnesota on February 4th, stopping in cities around the world including Toronto, Los Angeles, and London. The tour concludes on the 23rd of June in Paris, France. [4]
