  5. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Venture beyond Who Killed Sgt Pepper's disparaging parameters and there's several exquisite gems to be discovered here

  6. 5.7 |   Pitchfork

  7. 5.0 |   Under The Radar

    At over 71 minutes, the album is overlong, but at least it is cohesive. In some weird way, these songs—beat-driven, often sung in a foreign language, and seldom making a whole lot of sense—hang together

Loyle Carner  hopefully!

The sounds are slightly different here than on previous albums and his tentative sojourn into singing is a success because his voice connects as easily as his rapping does Albumism

Lorde  Virgin

Lorde trades in her secrecy and mystique for a tremendously healing, desperately relatable record that cements her mark as her generation’s defining artist Northern Transmissions

Lorde  Virgin
