Album Notes & Community Reviews

After a heavily publicized departure from a restrictive major label contract, the British singer-songwriter delivered a defiant, fiercely independent debut. The album traverses contemporary R&B, pop rap, and classic jazz-club stylings to address dark, confessional themes surrounding addiction, body dysmorphia, and industry exploitation.
