    It relies heavily on ambiguous world music tropes, highly melodic, canned inspirational hooks and arena-style arranging.

    K'Naan more than makes up for it [occasionally cheesy, pop choruses] with intelligent and innovative verses, not to mention excellent guest spots.

    The young Somalian is far from the first artist to have to figure out "their" sound while sweating under the spotlight, and by the sound of Silence he's still figuring things out.
