Sep 7, 2018By the end of the heartfelt Touched By You MNEK has truly made his mark with this ambitious masterwork of an album. After years in the background, he’s proved that he’s the full package.
-
Sep 7, 2018Language is satisfyingly expansive, exploring the connection between communication and physicality in contemporary queer relationships.

Q MagazineSep 7, 2018Joyous and rammed with hits: it's worth the wait. [Oct 2018, p.111]
-
Sep 7, 2018The fluctuation in sensibility, from people-pleasing pop to something more sophisticated, suggests Emenike is hedging his bets.
-
Sep 11, 2018MNEK 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.
-
Sep 10, 2018It’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.
-
Sep 7, 2018MNEK is a strong singer capable of bracing jumps into his falsetto register. But he seems to have been so immersed in writing for others that he’s lost his own voice.
