    For a record born of fatigue and exhaustion, she imbues a renewing sense of urgency to each bar she delivers.

    This foray beyond the confines of UK rap doesn't leave the album feeling muddled or stylistically confused—her out-there synth rap sound remains consistent throughout, for a polished, elegant debut album that stands tall inside (and outside) the UK's rap scene.

    Throughout this eventful record Flohio keeps a clear sense of lyrical and stylistic integrity, and by the time Against The Grain’s glitchy percussion cuts out to reveal solitary reverbed chords we’re left with one of the standout rap albums of the year.

    FLOHIO’s debut shows a willingness to step out the boundaries like few other rappers, and she’s got the power to prove it. Out of Heart plants well-intentioned seeds; with some refinement, FLOHIO has a real shot of some bangers to sow.

    Out of Heart may not be a home run, but Flohio still scores with her acrobatic rhyme patterns and experimental sonics.

    On Out of Heart, Flohio deserves credit for bridging the worlds of rap and electronica, but you’re still left wondering: who is the human being behind this aesthetic? If she’s to truly level up artistically, Flohio needs to give us a clearer idea of what the reflection in the mirror looks like.
  7. FLOHIO’s willingness to embrace a number of genres and sounds in her music — from 2000s grime to house music — can only be a positive thing, and ‘Out Of Heart’, a body of work that does show promise, serves up a refreshing take on modern-day rap. There’s still room for improvement, though.
