even with all the issues dave sometimes has with his music he at least can make those serious songs way more compelling like both sides of a smile doesn’t feel like 8 minutes but the intro to stormzy album feels like 8 years.
dave also pads out his albums with a few party anthems which links well with the theme of the album. i admire stormzy for doing an album with a consistent theme and sound in this kind of direction but it doesn’t help if the music isn’t that compslling
Might give it a spin again to see if I missed something on my first go round
I'm not finished yet but halfway I'm super f***in with it. I really enjoy these type of albums
Title track
It’s fine
I listened to Hide & Seek too and it’s cute I’ll prob keep it for a playlist

Yeah, it's a soft album.. soft on the ears
It's a nice album musically but it's summer in the southern hemisphere and I'm not heartbroken so I don't know what's gonna compel me to relisten to this
This album growing me tbh. So many great tracks on here but songs like Holy Spirit do nothing to me, I appreciate the quality but not for me.
My Presidents Are Black, I Got My Smile Back and This Is What I Mean are standouts for sure
Kinda wish Please and Sampha's Plea were merged into one track, would've been a 10/10 collab
I don't usually listen to Stormzy, but when Bad Blood came on, that's all I listened to when I was driving to and from work.
So nice
Gave it a listen, it's nice I don't like all the ballad songs but it sounds like he put his heart into it and tried to get creative, Fire+Water is dope and so are the catchier songs on here, also more Sampha is always blessed
i played this last night i was expecting way worse from the reactions in here
title track, my presidents are black, bad blood. there's some good stuff on here but def some snoozers
sampha's plea
Nice of him to show us where his allegiance is, on his i-D cover photo!
google “i-D magazine covers” and you will probably notice a recurring theme
I feel like Tyler is going to hate that Stormzy has basically said Igor was his inspiration behind this album

He said Tyler having a message to the fans as part of the roll out was an inspiration behind him also doing that
But even if the album itself was an inspiration was true why do you say would Tyler hate that?

It's just a gut feeling I have based on Tyler's personality

Samphas plea a snoozer. Weakest interlude from him yet.
Most the beats to similar and sample heavy
Features with no names🙄, samples and the beats the best part of the album. His rapping so ass
