Album Notes & Community Reviews

Collaborating extensively with Frank Ocean and producer Rick Rubin, the British singer-songwriter expands his typically insular, minimalist sound into a sprawling 76-minute epic. The album heavily utilizes his haunting, reverb-soaked falsetto and complex piano arrangements to detail a painful romantic breakup. It stands as his most emotionally direct and structurally ambitious exploration of electronic soul.
