    For such a young talent, his lyrics are strong, but give him a few more years of life experience and they could be in a different league.

    The rousing Isombard is equally good, but the quality control isn’t maintained, his choruses occasionally sounding laboured. Still, there’s promise in abundance here.

    His message loses strength, in part, because he doesn’t fully commit to it.
