Reviews / Album

"The spacious arrangements, narrative lyrics and 'live' sound put you right in the room with the band."

"Flanked by a fresh crop of musicians, from caustic, synth-laden Mother E onwards, Patrick appears revitalised and enraged."

"...there's some earthy substance beneath the glossy surface."

"If it really has a theme of love, then Cupid is horribly doomed."

"While Azel (meaning "root" or "stem" in Bombino's native Tamasheq) does top-end the faster electric tracks, it isn't as loud as its predecessor."

"Its lyrical content and occasional F-bombs bound to make preteen 1D fans blush."
