    Able to walk the line effortlessly between animalistic lyricism and tracks that are more melody-focused, Wretch has managed to paint a picture where the brushstrokes are appreciated by all.

    If there's a weakness it's the lack of an obvious pop banger. [Dec 2017, p.113]

    The limp, autotuned love song “Happy” and drearily positivist “Good Morning” are lazy nods to the mainstream, but elsewhere Wretch is better served by the dark sparkle of arrangements featuring grimy sub-bass synths and itchy electro beats tinted with eerie vocal samples, thumb-piano and synthetic pan-pipes.

    His fourth major label album is too comfortable in its introspection. Where Stormzy’s Gang Signs & Prayer carefully balanced bangers and ballads, this is sluggish and solemn.
