Had to go back here and review this album after listening to his new one.
I absolutely love this album. This was my introduction to Boogie and he blew me away with his songwriting. He's not shy about showing his vulnerabilities, he even embraces them in some parts of the album. I found this at a low point in my life and although I know it's not a perfect album and his singing here is really something that he could've worked on more, it still connected to me and I believe that this was the goal ... read more
Really solid album from Boogie, and a great follow-up to his previous album. While listening to it, I definitely felt an improvement in instrumental choice and singing; During the 3-year hiatus, he has done a great job of working on these specific aspects in his music, and also, he spent lots of time working on himself and his trauma. Although not consistent in all of the songs, his maturity in specific topics shines on this project.

A really solid single from the new TDE signee. Decent production, great bars here and there and really moving lyrics.
I've been waiting for this album since 2019, when I randomly stumbled upon "Broke" : one of my favourite songs of all time. It was just something about the upbeat,jazzy-soul melody and honest lyrics that instantly got me hooked to the song and Samm as a whole. And of course, I expected similar sound to his album as well.
And fortunately, that's what I got and I'm happy to say that Untidy Soul met my expectations!
The main focus is all about love really, whether that be towards ... read more
Randomly seeing that this album becomes 20 years old today, I decided to give it a listen, not knowing what to expect from the album or even Damien Rice himself.
And oh boy, was I blown away from this shit.
I absolutely love this album, even from only two listens. It instantly introduces you to this dark, lonely, melancholic world, but instead of running away, the tempting and comfortable sound makes you stay for the next track...and the next one... and the next one untii the end of the ... read more
