• 21 Savage: I Am > I Was review – girls, guns and introspective angst

  04-01-2019 10:00
  (Epic) The descriptor “mumble rap” is mostly used disparagingly about a new generation of dead-eyed MCs, but 21 Savage turns monotony into a virtue. There is a slight uptick in vocal musicality compared with his previous work, particularly on the Drakeian track Out vor the Night, but for the most part the Atlantan star continues with his dominant voice: a supremely jaded cadence where each line pitches slightly downwards at the end, suggesting a head that can never be held high.He ha

• The Chainsmokers: Sick Boy review – a torrent of spew-inducing self-pity

His reputation flourished when Drake posted his song Skrt, an off-kilter R&B-rap ballad, on Instagram and

• Julia Kent: Temporal review – pleasantly disorienting cello

  04-01-2019 09:15
  (The Leaf Label)The cello has a curious, undersung relationship with popular music. With a range similar to a guitar – and a timbre eerily reminiscent of a human voice – it’s often used to add gravitas and warmth to a pop session, from Nick Drake’s Cello Song to Robyn’s Be Mine.

• Nili Hadida: Nili Hadida review – soft, minimalist soul-pop

  04-01-2019 09:00
  (AllPoints France)Tel Aviv-born singer Nili Hadida’s Paris-based folk duo, Lilly Wood & the Prick, initially made most impact in France until German DJ-producer Robin Schulz’s 2014 remix of Prayer in C gave them an international chart-topper. After parting ways with her musical partner, Benjamin Cotto, Hadidi’s solo debut quietly edges away from the folk-meets-dance direction of that smash hit.
