Sep 12, 2018Unlike SOPHIE or Arca who push the limits of pop sonically and aesthetically, Yves Tumor with Safe In The Hands of Love goes back to his influences, filter and enrich them with pure ideas and emotional depth and delivers a masterpiece. An incredible blend of melodies, noise and rhythms that would just be unfair to call it experimental. Its just singer-songwriting of the future.

Sep 10, 2018I won't soak my words in hyperbole but I listened to this and found it to be enjoyable, hence the positive experience. I also can't think of anything that detracts from it as an experience either, hence the 10.

Oct 1, 2018This is perfectly fine, but a little hyped. I'm not sure people remember what a masterpiece can sound like sometimes. When i heard this album described i thought it would be some kind of mind bending, sci fi weirdness psych. Its just some slickly produced pop music with some slight fringe production.

May 14, 2022The album is really an experience and definitely worth listening. If you’re a fan of the experimental dramatic sound this is definitely for you. I fell in love with the tracks: Noid, Licking an orchid and Lifetime. Some other tracks i feel like aren't good as singles but do fit perfectly in the album.

Sep 25, 2018What pushes Safe in the Hands of Love beyond the producer's previous works is the emotion that the record transmits. No matter if the synths are harsh, or the rhythm section arrives with the perfect groove, this is a work filled with an emotive purpose, and it is that core that makes it such a wonderful listen.

The WireSep 21, 2018Sometimes the sensuousness of Serpent Music is missed, but Tumor’s drive to take this radically new music to audiences as big as Blake’s, Ocean’s or even Radiohead’s is exhilarating. [Oct 2018, p.63]

Sep 17, 2018Bowie’s only consistent trajectory has been one of tearing down his mythos even as his builds it, and his latest manages to knock down yet another wall as he steps more fully into the light than he’s ever dared tread before. On Safe in the Hands of Love, Yves Tumor isn’t concerned with being “experimental;” he’s simply concerned with being.
