    A masterful intersection of emotion and musicianship, Robert Ellis is one of 2016’s finest.

    At its heart, though, this is essentially a great pop album. [Jul 2016, p.83]

    Robert Ellis’ self-titled album is the sound of a young songwriter solidifying his blend of East Nashville country with whatever sounds, styles, and sentiments that suit his interests.

    Ellis' sly, unsparing wit still defines the music.

    Rather than ending the record with an emphatic statement, the band sounds confused and adrift. Which is a shame, because for most of its passing, Robert Ellis is an exercise in confident songwriting, creative arrangements, and strong playing.
