Apr 20, 2023Stormzy may be more well known for his freestyle and heavy rap, but he is clearly at his /best/ when buckling down, accessing himself, and writing what he feels (to say nothing about the long list of unique collaborations that make this a varied, yet cohesive record). This album is well-thought-out, well-made, and well worth the listen.

Dec 19, 2022For much of the album, Stormzy hardly lifts his voice above a whisper, like he’s slipping us a note under the door. Sometimes this exercise in solemnity and sincerity doesn’t quite land emotionally. ... Elsewhere, Stormzy truly expresses the liberating power of earnest prayer by choosing to speak from personal pain rather than religious catchphrase, like on “Please”.

Dec 8, 2022Stormzy finds balance on This Is What I Mean and delivers a record with clear intentions and messaging. While it's unlikely to please the entirety of his audience, those who find this record in the pits of depression, lost spirituality, heartbreak or falling in and out of love will undoubtedly be moved.

Dec 5, 2022This Is What I Mean is a bold album about showing vulnerability, and continues the erstwhile rapper’s overarching mission to transcend the roles allotted to him.
