i do agree with johnny on the more orchestral moments not suiting her style. Lucky those are few and far in between. Most of this actually rocks, the variety of palettes (boom-bap, rnb, jazz, even some afrobeat and reggae) and sounds are refreshing and interesting throughout.



Can't fuck with the interludes tho. At least they weren't AWFUL, but i'll definitely won't listen to them ever again.

Great review. Will check soon

Hope this is the Little Simz album that finally lives up to the promise of A Curious Tale [2]

this is definitely pretty-to-very good but hasn't hooked me quite yet - certainly something i expect to be returning to a bunch though

Big/great review, Row! Very excited to hear this, she's so good. Saw the Tiny Desk, the instrumentation for the new stuff seems super cool.



Lunatic (great avi btw), yeah there's been a lot of 3-3.5core (Tyler, Cole, slowthai, CZARFACE/DOOM, Navy Blue, Rashad, Nas) but not much really excellent shit. Was gonna rec you Genesis Owusu, but see you've got it rated already. Haven't listened to new Ka yet, maybe that's where it's at.



Edit: backxwash is pretty great too

Album Rating: 4.5

ya agreed backxwash is the shit
