Our Take
Our Take
Loyle Carner's latest offering, "Not Waving, But Drowning," is a rollercoaster ride of emotion and introspection. The South London rapper dives deep into his personal life, addressing themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with raw honesty and charm.
From the opening track, "Dear Jean," Carner sets the tone for the album with his soulful delivery and heartfelt lyrics. His laid-back flow effortlessly glides over jazzy beats and smooth melodies, creating a hypnotic vibe that draws the listener in from the get-go.
Tracks like "Ice Water" and "Desoleil (Brilliant Corners)" showcase Carner's storytelling skills, painting vivid pictures of his experiences and inner thoughts. The guest appearances from artists like Jorja Smith and Tom Misch add layers of depth and texture to the album, elevating it to new heights.
But it's not all deep introspection and melancholy on "Not Waving, But Drowning." Carner injects plenty of wit and humour into his lyrics, giving the album a playful edge that keeps things light and engaging.
Overall, "Not Waving, But Drowning" is a triumph for Loyle Carner. It's a testament to his growth as an artist and his ability to connect with his audience on a deeply personal level. So grab a cuppa, put on your comfy slippers, and dive into this musical therapy session - you won't be disappointed.
