    The 2018 debut imparted a somewhat avant form of downtempo with singers, players, rappers, and samples -- crossing generations and genres -- all artfully woven into a contemplative statement. Friday Forever is similarly collaborative and collagist.

    ‘Friday Forever’ is a solid record with an intriguing concept that unravels fantastically under Russell’s loosened leash.

    For a man who’s lived and breathed rave culture, his album about the experience is strangely lacking in highs.

    It is not unappealing, but such portmanteau pop really needs strong guiding principles to add up to more than the sum of its individual parts.
