Plutonium Glow is a 1997 studio album by American vocalist Vanessa Daou that was re-released in 1998. The album was an early example of Internet-based marketing for music[1][2] and has received positive reviews from critics.

Reception

Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Stanton Swihart writing that "Plutonium Glow... while still intensely sweaty, shifts its focus to the stars" and "Daou has a voice like a feather that literally floats off into the crisp night air, leaving the listener with a sweet but sometimes sorrowful aftertaste".[3] A review in Billboard calling this a "fine" album that "meld[s] sensual, often enlightening lyrics with smooth, warmly ambient dance grooves".[1] A 2022 review from Imran Khan of PopMatters of the 1998 re-release edition of this album stated that this album was influential on subsequent rave music culture and he praised the music's "subtle change in dynamics" and "coolly-mannered, thoughtful, and thought-provoking poetry".[2]
