I have become completely obsessed with Tinie's new album since it's release on Monday and I will tell you why (if you are yet to here it for yourself).
It strays away from Tinie's debut release in that it is not filled with club bangers and catchy hooks although there are a few thrown in for good measure. Tinie shows a lot of growth as an artist by exploring some more personal themes like cheating on his girlfriend on It's Ok and goes even more autobiographical on Looking Down The Barrel - one of my favourites because of the superb production.
The slower and more emotional songs on the album such as Tears Run Dry are really beautifully executed and are moments that Tinie's last album was missing.
There are also some great hip-hop and dance songs like Shape, Don't Sell Out and the single Trampoline which will no doubt have you up dancing in the club.
In fact, there are only two songs on the album which I find myself skipping and that's Witch Doctor and Children Of The Sun as I just find them to be filler tracks.
Throw in the amazing vocals from Ella Eyre, Emelie Sande, Labrynth and Laure Mvula and some big features from 2Chainz, Dizzee Rascal and Big Sean and you have an album that caters to everyone.
The versatility is impressive and showcases every aspect of Tinie as an artist which makes me excited about what will hear next.
4 stars.
