    These songs' surfaces are fastidiously arranged - but in his delicate vocals and allusive, nervy lyrics, Westerman still stirs up darker, less elegantly curated depths. [Summer 2020, p.107]

    Will Westerman de Inglaterra tiene un proyecto personal que nace desde su intimidad y se siente en su trayectoria musical. Diagnosticado con ADHD, las decisiones que Bullion (el productor) y este joven y emergente músico toman sobre la producción se notan maduras, vastas, emocionales e inteligentes. No es que haya falta de creatividad, sino que la madurez y la inteligencia musical de este álbum cautivan las emociones más serenas y asertivas del público. Casi como una medicina, la música que Will expone en este proyecto parecen canalizar la impulsividad e hiperactividad con la que padece el artista y presenta un mundo totalmente seguro y tranquilo bajo su propio control y visión. Una paradoja interesante si se toma en cuenta su trastorno y sus repercusiones. Estaré emocionado de seguir atentamente a este artista y su New Wave Pop.

    Will Westerman, of England, has a personal project born from his intimacy that is felt in his musical path. Diagnosticated with ADHD, the desitions of Bullion (the producer), and this young and emerging musician taken over the production are mature, vast, emotional, and intelligent. It's not that there's a lack of creativity, but the musical maturity and intelligence in this album captivate the most serene and assertive emotions of listeners. Almost like medicine, the music that Will exposes in this project seems to canalize the impulsivity and hyperactivity that the artist endures, and presents a totally safe and calm world under his own control and vision. An interesting paradox if his disorder and its repercussions are taken into account. I will be excited to follow this artist and his New Wave Pop.    … Full Review »
