    This isn’t an album, it’s the spiritual essence of the joy beyond the pain.

    Acoustic guitar-driven folk music blends fervently with spoken word-esque rap verses and passionate R&B-mingled choruses through fourteen emotional purpose-driven tracks brimming with woke material and a call to change for the millennial '90s baby generation like the passionate artist out of Stone Mountain, Georgia.

    Raury’s spirit and intent are laudable, but his broad lyrics and potpourri musical approach need refining.

    All We Need is a lot more powerful, and a heap more fun, when it aims for transcendence. [Dec 2015, p.112]

    He is all messed up about a girl on Love Is Not a Four Letter Word and the keyboard fantasia of Her; songs about the planet and his mother also figure.

    Raury’s simple, yet passionate rap delivery doesn’t fare all that well when forced into shared space with established stars of the genre.

A melodic album ofRaury's ambitious sophomore release, "All We Need," encapsulates elements from genres scaling the entire spectrum. A melodic album of Hip-Hop/Folk and hints of electronica, bursting with originality. We only hope this will blaze the trail for other artists to follow, and at the young age of 19 we eagerly follow Raury through his career that is just beginning. Brilliant and inspiring. Expand

    While it isn't perfect lyrically, it's definitely refreshing and experimental to say the least.
    I can't wait to see Raury grow as an artist.
