Noticable improvement over her previous work, RAYE takes a theatrical approach blending genres together in an epic symphony of musical prowess.
Not bad for the 'little bro' of a collosal band. The best solo project of all the Beatles members.
Shoutout to a guy I met at a concert for recommending this awesome album
Unbelievably good, it really is hard to articulate with any accuracy how good this album is and how well it describes the world we live in. It's like if God Speed You Black Emperor, Swans and Rage Against the Machine had a perfect child.
This album goes HARD and I mean HARD, there is such a genuine visceral outrage that you can feel but Maruja also have this incredible ability to tone it down and really tap into your emotional side. Tracks like Look Down On Us is a perfect example of ... read more

But the rest of the album falls so far short of that and is pretty forgettable.
Crazy that an album this good is only my 2nd favourite hiphop record of the year.

"Crazy how different we interpret things because for me the negatives you have are apart of what make this such a superb album, the roughness of the mix absolutely work in favour of the album's sound imo, I can't really imagine it any other way tbh. It is supposed to be a low-fi album, Phil intentionally recorded this to be that way with distortion and compression.
Each to their own tho, can't knock you for that."
