Tom Colquhoun
Just like the cover photo, this album is thick with roots: Blue interweaving portrayals of his own roots and upbringing; falling in love with music and the wider history of soul and hip-hop; the history of the African diaspora; coming back around to the roots Blu is putting down in the present, his family and vision for his future. A breathtakingly ambitious and beautifully executed , soulful album with big, gorgeous, dreamy, jazzy beats from Exile.
Favorite track: Music Is My Everything feat. Choosey & Jimetta Rose.
