    Honestly, it is one of the best debut album on 2018. It is sofisticaded, warm and really pop. With this album, MNEK is just experimenting and trying to find his own style and voice as a singer-songwriter and producer he is.

    Sis MNEK is amazing, his voice is his power and with 'Language', he's empowering and inspiring LGBTQ+ and black community to stand up and tell the world that we can win too.

    Don't matter what bad critics will say about this album, Language is a solid and great debut album. If you listen if carefully, you'll feel joy and pleasure for wait around three years to hear it.

    Much like MNEK a lot of us were savage at the music industries treatment of him, well more fool them for sleeping on him, we will enjoy the bops instead! He is an absolute genius and his long awaited album couldn't have been more perfect. You can hear his love of music and inspirations in each song that ignite memories of year 7 in us all "though shall pay bills"
    The album is back to    Much like MNEK a lot of us were savage at the music industries treatment of him, well more fool them for sleeping on him, we will enjoy the bops instead! He is an absolute genius and his long awaited album couldn't have been more perfect. You can hear his love of music and inspirations in each song that ignite memories of year 7 in us all "though shall pay bills"
    The album is back to back bangers and when you get to "Touched by you" you will simply be blown away.
    I hope we do get a second album, don't let them get you down Uzoechi!    … Expand

    MNEK absolutely knows his way around a pop banger, and it’s his expansive, polished production on more upbeat moments that saves Language from falling flat with cliché lyrics and the dreary lament of slower tracks.

    It’s a beautifully crafted, upbeat pop album, and MNEK’s voice is compelling and gorgeous; the only small quibble is it’s a tad long.Colour , a triumphal duet with Hailee Steinfeld, feels a little tacked on in an effort to emulate the success of his Zara Larsson collab Never Forget You, and the conversational between-song interludes likewise feel a little extraneous, if all part and parcel of MNEK’s unique, mellifluous Language.

    Joyous and rammed with hits: it's worth the wait. [Oct 2018, p.111]
