UncutFeb 28, 2022Here, informed by the BLM movement, the lyrics on his third Black Radio LP are often mournful. ... Sometimes the mournfulness is sublime. [Apr 2022, p.32]

Feb 28, 2022As an enjoyable fan-service sequel intended to offer music of comfort and solace, Black Radio III is fine.

MojoFeb 28, 2022Boasts duets between Esperanza Spalding ab=nd Q-Tip, Musiq Soulchild and posdnuos and a deep-voiced rap from Meshell Ndegeocello that perfectly marries H.E.R.'s downcast balladeering.
