    Capable of plenty with his unique and appealing voice; NAV fails to deliver on his debut project with constantly cringe worthy lyricism and sub-par melodies. Strong features and some standout songs keep this album afloat from being an utter failure

    An uninspiring debut effort, choc full of every bromide and hackneyed lyric imaginable. Nav's success partially hinges on his ability to contrive and place 11 sonically-identical tracks on the same project. The capable production largely carries him and makes his general one-note, syrupy, muddled droning tolerable. Even so, staying fully lucid over the duration of this album requiredAn uninspiring debut effort, choc full of every bromide and hackneyed lyric imaginable.

    More about creating a low-wattage soundtrack for chemical and sexual mischief than foundations for songs.

    NAV is front-to-back one of the blandest takes on the genre so far.

    It's a lack of originality that turns the sound stale rather quickly.
