    This album, featuring the likes of Ed Sheeran and Katy B, is just confirmation to me that grime is now becoming obsolete on the music scene and is sadly turning into pop hip-hop. The decline of Devlin via this album is sad, but just confirms that grime is about to die, and that nothing can be done to stop it becoming mainstream pop music. 3/10.

    Amalgamating these with pop choruses makes the listening experience too scattered and ultimately leads A Moving Picture to stutter from frame to frame, and it doesn't help that the experience bows down to every chart formula around.

    There's plenty of widescreen, orchestral-surge production to match the look-how-far-we've-come sentiment, but Devlin remains most compelling in scowling underdog mod

    His picture would be that much more moving if he spliced his peaks with the occasional trough. [Mar 2013, p.98]
