3.0 good | Gene Gol-Jonsson CONTRIBUTOR | November 26th 20 | Thematically heavy sometimes, which is not something one'd expect from a lite funky breezy neosoul project like this. The atmosphere alone does not prepare you for the messages. But I suppose there is a great deal of originality in an approach like that. But the album can only go so far with the breezy music itself, before it turns wearisome. At 50 minutes, you'd expect at least the majority of the album to be airtight. Which it is in many respects, but the style itself does not support such extravagant lengths - at least not in my view - or should present newness manifold over to justify it.

4.0 excellent | ajcollins15 | September 22nd 20 | A really solid fourth album from the United Kingdom-based group. There have been a lot of great albums toughing on the topics of black lives matter and topics like it. But this is one of the strongest of the year. From the great funktronica and afrobeat instrumentals to the very soulful and powerful neo-soul vocals. There is a lot to love about this project. The biggest downside is that the poetry passages can be a bit distracting and make the paise of the record slow down. Also, the closing track is a bit to be desired. Still a great album for them and probably the strongest one they have done to date.
