Stormzy wants to show his love for God: good for him! The issue is that apart from the title track, everything is nice, but the heartfelt lyrics need more help from the musical department to properly impact. Stormzy's voice is competent at best, the harmonies are nice but not gospel-worthy, and most melodies aren't marking - the greatest example being Sampha's invitation: the dude is a remarkable singer, and his tune falls flat. It's evident Stormzy wanted to come up with his magnum opus, but he needs to up the musicality game.
