Perfect Timing

Perfect Timing brings NAV and Metro Boomin together, but it doesn’t quite live up to its potential. NAV’s robotic delivery and lacklustre lyricism don’t do him any favours. Most of his verses just drag on without much energy, making it very hard to stay engaged. The songwriting doesn’t help at all either, feeling quite shallow and just repetitive throughout.

Metro Boomin’s production is solid, as expected, but even he sounds a bit uninspired here. The beats do fit the late-night aesthetic the album is going for, but they lack that extra something that make Metro’s beats stand out. There are a few decent moments though, like Call Me, but not enough to keep the album from feeling like mostly filler.

The collaboration had potential, but Perfect Timing ends up feeling like a missed opportunity. It’s not bad, but it’s far from great. With better performances and more inspired production, this could’ve been something special. Instead, it’s just… underwhelming.
