    A singular experience, You Will Not Die is a theatrical jewel, the sound of a rich, vital talent moving briskly into the limelight. At times reminiscent of Kate Bush in its sense of performance, ANOHNI in its integrity, or even Marvin Gaye in its soulful, sinewy groove, this is an album to be cherished.

    The level of craft involved — songwriting, musicality, performative sense — belies his relative anonymity within the greater music continuum. You Will Not Die is both an affirmation and a promise.

    If it's occasionally all a bit much, it's also unlike anything else you'll hear this year. [May 2018, p.111]

    Defiance, anger and desire fire his second set, a soul-dancefloor hybrid that soars past debut Brave Confusions' meld of influences. [Apr 2019, p.93]

    An album that values intensity and tenderness in equal measure, You Will Not Die is a multi-faceted and fascinating introduction.

    It’s an album that’s at times danceable and at others meditative, but always filled with emotional honesty.

    You Will Not Die is a strikingly intimate album that succeeds despite some occasionally lead-footed pacing and stilted theatrics.
