#22 | Loyle Carner | hugo
AMF Records/Universal

This is the most satisfying album by Carner due to a palpable anger that bubbles below the surface and breaks free through his usually laidback style to make itself felt more deeply—he represents the complexity of life for countless others ravaged by a society fueled by hate and governed by people who don’t care about anything except their bottom line. There is truth here in abundance and it is a testament to the ability of people to be able to make progress in a world designed to fail them at almost every turn. [Read Patrick Corcoran’s Review]
