Apr 5, 2016Blunt’s not a master of wordplay, and he’s certainly not trying to be a good technical rapper. But his flow, his delivery, is entrancing.
-
Apr 5, 2016Tthe album as a whole is a step forward for Blunt. Though the music isn't his most gripping, he's never achieved such a powerful synthesis of sound, concept and character.
-
Apr 19, 2016If that all sounds a bit lofty and conceptual, well, BBF is just that, but it’s also fun. Some tracks plod a little, and will sound pretentious to some ears, but each one contains a wealth of detail, and its best moments are miniature triumphs.
-
Apr 8, 2016The debut album from mysterious group Babyfather features bucketloads of frontman Dean Blunt’s devilish humour. But like all the best satire, it’s also steeped in grit and realness.
-
The WireApr 21, 2016There's nothing fake about the record itself, however, and any interpretations of irony will be largely rooted in the audience's prejudices about who and what certain styles of music are for. [Apr 2016, p.46]
-
Apr 13, 2016Even more so than Blunt's previous work, BBF is a difficult, sometimes impenetrable listen, but it's the most powerful statement he's made yet.
-
Apr 5, 2016BBF Hosted By DJ Escrow may be the most sarcastic record Blunt has put out, but there's real emotion here amidst the baby cries and union jack hover boards.
-
Apr 14, 2016Ultimately the potential legacy of BFF Hosted by DJ Escrow lies with the future artists it may inspire.
-
Apr 28, 2016Dean Blunt’s debut full-length as Babyfather is very noisy.
-
Apr 5, 2016BBF is a rare example of an album that invites both arty introspection and head nodding. Much like Blunt himself, BBF is not always easy to love. But that makes the eventual rewards even more satisfying.
-
Apr 5, 2016It is a painfully raw, emotionally generous, politically charged, intensely intelligent, sometimes unlistenable album.
