    His music takes the spare depth of Lorde and Tove Lo as a starting point, adding a sharp precision that--along with a floating tenor alternating between a less-sappy Sam Smith and a steelier Jeff Buckley--fuels the tense urgency of “Riot,” and sells even insubstantial material like “Love You Crazy.”

    Time reaffirms that there's more to Ekko's music than ballads, but a little more consistency would have made this a confident debut instead of a promising one.

    With his voice light as an angel,    Finally, after almost two years waiting for his debut album, Mikky Ekko launched this wonderful work!

    With his voice light as an angel, Ekko brought us a heavenly album that took a while to be completed, but when it launched just came to show the ability of Mikky has to compose some wonderful dramatic Alternative Pop music.

    The title track "Time" and "Comatose" bring a kind of R&B, while "Watch Me Rise" and "Love You Crazy" show an amazing Pop explosion. "Riot" is different from all the album, with a good and noisy Rock. But the highlights of the album are "Pull Me Down" and "Smile", very well made and produced songs with beautiful dramatic letters.

    By far, this is one of the best debut of the year.    … Full Review »

Esse álbum deixou a desejar um pouco. É bem barulhento e explosivo, mas ao mesmo tempo dramático e sentimentalista. As composições do Ekko são incríveis, mas a produção ficou bem repetitiva, como se o álbum estivesse repetindo a mesma música direto, as únicas que se diferenciam são Time, Pull Me Down e Riot, o resto parece igual. É um bom álbum, mas fiquei meio decepcionada com o resultado final.… Full Review »
