Jul 21, 2021Yellow brims with kindness and connection through its musical messages, reminding us refreshingly of what it is to be a human among humans.

UncutJul 21, 2021Some of the best moments here are twitchy funk miniatures, driven by tuba basslines, distorted Fender Rhodes riffs and chant-based vocals, which leave you wanting more. [Aug 2021, p.35]

Jul 21, 2021Despite the abundance of compositional ideas, they are all executed with attention to clarity, cohesion and detail. Thackray's auteurist approach in the studio combined with her peerless precision and control feel like a whole new genre unto itself.
