Come to Life is the first studio album by American hip hop musician Cities Aviv.[7] It was released on Young One Records on January 28, 2014.[4] Music videos were created for "URL IRL"[8] and "Don't Ever Look Back".[9]

Reception

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Come to Life received an average score of 78% based on 6 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[1]

Pat Levy of Consequence of Sound said: "Whereas Cities Aviv's last few records have been more sonically challenging, this one flies by with the strongest cohesion of Mays' shout-rap style and the genre-bending production that he consistently finds himself on."[4] Brandon Soderberg of Spin noted that "Burzum-esque screams tear through these noise-damaged dance-rap tracks about the pros and cons of the coming singularity."[6] David Jeffries of AllMusic described it as "an inspired, stick-to-the-bones album that offers a surprising amount of comfort, uplift, and new opportunities."[2]
