Bruno Mars’ new album is everything fans and critics hoped it would be. It’s funky, ferocious, soulful, sexy, romantic, and most of all it’s a bold switch up from the norm that hears the pint sized singer bypass the popular trap drum fad in favour of a project crafted entirely from the soul.

It's difficult to know if after 13 albums anything can be career-defining, but if this turns out to be Toledo's exposure to a wider audience, few would complain that he didn't deserve it.

Overall Konnichiwa is the album Skepta fans hoped he’d make. It’s got everything: street anthems, club bangers, braggadocios lyrical content, tracks that touch upon social issues, and odes to the architects of grime. With an obvious international appeal that Skepta plays on with the album's title, it sets the bar very high for not only grime and hip-hop music but UK music period.
