Some nice beats and production, great lyricism. However, this album wasn't giving me anything particularly new. Most of the tracks felt too short and the overall album felt rushed. I did like the transitions though.
An enjoyable but, ultimately, forgettable album imo.
Fav tracks: Old Friend, Fire In The Hole
A beautiful, dreamy and colourful album. The soundscapes are hypnotic and the overall tone is very consistent, a strong sense of loneliness and a bitersweetness.
Although fairly long, this album does go by pretty quickly, each song presents something new whilst staying well within the sonic aesthetic and emotion of the album. I would’ve cut a couple of songs to make it a bit more concise despite actually liking every single one.
The best thing about this is how ALBUM it is. It’s not an album, it’s an ALBUM. Each song flows nicely into the next and the overall experience is the biggest takeaway of this and less so the individual tracks. After Hours delivered a consistent album experience too but, in my opinion, was more multifarious with it’s tracks. These new Dawn FM tracks feel a bit less memorable.
But I really like the direction Abel has gone with this album, the 80s synth sound suits him so well ... read more
A nice EP with a really solid collection of songs. Sonically, it’s nothing particularly exciting but it’s very well produced. The melodies and the vibes are nice. Angie is one of my favourite songs of the year so far atm.
A chill jazzy hip hop album that feels like the early morning. It's a very pleasant and smooth album to listen to, chill but far from boring.
Ferreira is a great rapper and his delivery carries charisma.
Also, Rejoice is such a beautiful song.
Favourite tracks: redguard snipers, high rise in network, rejoice.
