The Durand Jones & The Indications frontman's solo venture is a deeply personal one, detailing the Southern Black experience in his Louisiana hometown.
Braiding stirring songwriting prowess and beautiful vocals, Durand Jones has created one of the most assured and brightest debut albums in quite some time.
The concept is implicit in the music's gospel-soul communion, the lyrics' yearning and reckoning, and the rousing, towering power of Jones' purposively nostalgic soul vocal.
Multifaceted and consistently brilliant.
Seemingly posed as a promise and a threat, Wait Til I Get Over is a striking and poignant deviation.

I’m going to rule metalcore out as a potential genre, hope that helps a little
Gonna take a break from reviewing and listening to music. I lost my favourite pair of earbuds and nothing sounds the same way it did. Will I find them? Will I buy some new ones? Will I stick with my old headphones? Who knows?
EDIT: I do have some reviews left for emergency cases like this. Let's see how much they can hold on
Highlights: Gerri Marie, Lord Have Mercy, I Want You, βThat Feelingβ, See It Through, Secrets
I think depending on the new swans this will be my favourite album of the year, absolutely fantastic debut album and this mans vocals are at another level.
